whistles

First time I heard one, a shiver went down my back! Beautifully deep tones, unlike a lot of steam whistles.Ed BellJust down the street from part of the Peavine.Sent from my LG K10, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone------ Original message------From: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-ListDate: Tue, Mar 30, 2021 1:01 PMTo: NW Mailing List;Cc: NW Mailing List;Subject:Re: whistlesThanks, Rick, for the information.  I must say that the whistles used on both 611 and 1218 (during those great mid-eighties steam excursions run out of Alexandria, VA) were music to my ears.  I love listening to the Link audio recordings as well.Brian GilleranHerndon, VAOn Mar 30, 2021, at 10:56 AM, NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:First, Jimmy you are correct,  the 12" Hooter did become the standard freight whistle after the introduction of the Hancocks. And secondly,  Brian,  their is no comparison of the Hancock steam whistle to the Hancock air whistle. Although the air whistle has a very nice sound as does the steam whistle.Rick Rader Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S10, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone-------- Original message --------From: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> Date: 3/30/21  10:50 AM  (GMT-05:00) To: NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> Cc: NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> Subject: Re: whistles Jimmy:Does this Hancock whistle differ from the Hancock Air Whistle that New Haven diesels and RDCs were equipped with?Just a newbie in the world of N&W and VGN.Brian Gilleran> On Mar 30, 2021, at 9:53 AM, NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:> > On 3/30/2021 7:24 AM, NW Mailing List wrote:> >> Basically the N&W only had two whistles Hancock’s for pass loco.

Then the 12" hooter was the freight whistle, the Hancock was the passenger whistle and the 7" whistle was discontinued.> > Jimmy Lisle> > ________________________________________> NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.org> To change your subscription go to> http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-list> Browse the NW-Mailing-List archives at> http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/________________________________________NW-Mailing-List@nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/________________________________________NW-Mailing-List@nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/
