Btw, the whistle currently on the 73 is most likely from a K-28. It has a Nathan 6 chime top that has been modified at the fins and a clearly stamped D&RGW bowl. Somewhere awhile back somebody found a picture taken of a K-28 while in service on the White Pass that shows a whistle that I would bet money is the exact same one the one the 73 is still wearing. I want to say it was the 474? The picture was a vantage point from a caboose cupola with the engine operating in helper service.
