I have not heard the Johnny Cash Norfolk and
Western theme song until now! Interesting that the chorus “ain’t from around here“ in that they put the L in Nawfok . Also, being in Raleigh , am in Seaboard country and have never heard the Seaboard “hooter“However, in my estimation, the CSX hooters however, in my estimation, the CSX hooters some of them, sounded terrible !!!! they have a high screeching sound .

> Seaboard had some E4 units with Hancock air whistles. Also some E7's had them. All of their SDP35's had them. They had a melodius sound, closer to a steam whistle than a diesel horn. The first time I heard one (on an E4) I was startled. That said, I don't think you could mistake the sound for a steam whistle. I don't know the rationale for their use, other than they would get your attention.
