Growing up in Bham, there were 2 different whistle sounds during
the railroad activity daily. The GN and NP had the more modern
"multi-chime" train horns while the Milwaukee had the "fog-horn"
whistle. Not exactly sure when the "fog-horn" whistle died from use.
Know the SP used the "fog-horn" whistle watching the old videos.
Train whistles...I can usally tell from 7 miles away what kind of
"train" it is. The Amtrak whistle on the diesel fleet, is a whistle
that is easy to recognize from the rest. Yeah...the "fog-horn"
whistle/honk is deeply imbedded in my memory banks.
If you are in a horror movie, you make bad decisions, its what you do.
