You're a great teacher, Brian. Thank you for your lesson on whistles, something that I always had an interest in. I live in, Jacksonville, FL, and the city has a huge whistle at the city's water works that announces the time of day at 7am, 12pm, 1pm and 5pm each day. It was built in the 1880s and installed at the water works 1890 by Jacksonville's own, John Einig. It is named, "Big Jim" after the builder's brother-in-law. It's got a story that may be of interest to you if you google the whistle's name. One site has the sound that it makes. Thanks for sharing your whistles and your knowledge.

From the history I studied Casey Jones was well known for his whistle. The way he blew it that sounded like a whipperwill. The ones that I&C used that made him famous were the mailbox whistles. Most of the freighters from that day on that line ran the mailboxes. That was the Whistle that made him famous just the way it sounded and the way he blew it according to history people would know it was him. On the night of the accident, that's when his friend gave him the boiler chime whistle. Which was probably rare back in that day so he was excited to put it on and have it be his new signature. Up until now I never heard of the mailbox whistle, must be very rare. I think after the accident the boiler tube whistles gained popularity which is why some of them are probably easier to find then the mailbox whistle. And like he said the chime whistle was better sounding and gaining popularity also cheaper to make so I think they were quick to become a staple of that area.

5:17 "He jumped to his feet, looked diagonally across the boiler, at the same time setting the air brakes in emergency stop. He had to reach up to do it, as the valve was located high on these engines. 'Jump Simm, jump!' He shouted, I jumped across the deck, grabbed the handrail, slid down as far as I could go, then turned loose. Casey never had a chance."

Brian, I have a solid brass steam whistle (similar to the 1870 North Western you displayed) that was given to me some 50 years ago. I was told at the time it came off a Rhode Island railroad steam locomotive and then stored in a basement for several years. the only markings on it is the number "44". Where can I go to identify and appraise it.

I know it's probably a silly question because 'pressure is pressure' so to speak; however, I wonder if there isn't some difference between the compressed air driven whistle sound to that caused by a locomotive's steam pressure?
