Re: The 78s and 80s old 3 chime heard again!

Greetings everyone,
I share Eric's enthusiasm about the historic whistle that found it's way back on to the dome of the 481. However I for one have become so accustomed to the shrill, ball-busting(oops, did I say that?) sound of the 5 and 6 chimes that I had a wierd sense of deja vu yesterday when I heard the whistle. I saw myself bobbing across the pontoon bridge on Tom Sawyer's Island, hearing the whistle, and craning my neck hoping for a glimpse of the Mark Twain coming around the bend on the Rivers of America. "Next stop, Frontier Land!".

Lots of laughs,
Rob
