The Deep Baritone Whistle

[NW Mailing List]

There's an article in the Jan/Feb 2005 issue of NWHS' magazine, The Arrow,  that explains what notes make up the J's whistle.  They vary depending on the condition of the whistle, direction, speed of the locomotive relative to the listener, boiler pressure, lots of things.
The best I could do when researching the article were the following combinations, limited to the Class J:
B-flat - D - G  (1st inversion G-minor)
B - D - G  (1st inversion G Major)
C - E - G  (C major)
B-flat and B are just below middle C on a keyboard.

   Could you tell me what pitch(s) makes up the famous "deep baritone whistle" of the 611?
 
 Sincerely,
