The following info is vaguely remembered from a docent's explanation as to why the engine whistled for a station at m.p. 287.25 ... *

IIRC, back in the mid- to late-twenties there were also plans being drawn up for a siding at m.p. 287.25, approximately, and a small station to serve the Tuberculosis Sanitarium and Art Colony - Trolliessen - that Frank Lloyd Wright rightly or wrongly was planning to build there.  Sadly, the Great Depression of 1929 put an end to these rather ambitious plans - see [ngdiscussion.net] for further details.
