I realize this is historically accurate, but I'm just not a fan of plain bell whistles, so I just don't get it when people get all excited about them. Am I incorrect in thinking that most locomotive manufacturers outfitted their engines with hooters as a way to cut costs and simplify their manufacturing process? Oh well, they just don't do it for me, but to each their own.
Edited to add: Thank you for posting the video!! (Forgot my manners for a second!)
