@6V92TA Don't know that was from a web site that had whistle sounds big boy was the name of the file I down loaded. Big boys were freight haulers and there whistles were not that musical so I jazzed it up on a music program with echo and such for the background sound track. :)

@420glass Big Boys had the same kind of whistles as the UP Challengers, a UP 4 Chime.

@6V92TA No, it doesn't sound anything like that at all. If you've ever heard the whistle on the UP's 3985, then

you'll  have an accurate idea of the whistles on the 4000 class "Big Boys".

No. Not even close. If you want to hear an actual recording of a big boy, type in the search bar "Alco Series 4000 Locomotive"
