I really liked the Southern (but there was a squeal that was in there that I don't think was supposed to). I like the higher pitched, the lowers came on the really big boys later in the steam era.
Hey, too cool! I grew up just down the road from the St. Joseph Valley Old Engine Assoc. grounds at Boot Hill Ranch. I used to bike on over when they were having a show.
We could hear the Annual Whistle Blow from our house each year.

Do you think the guy that owns the whistles from the RMS Mauretania could be persuaded to do a video like this?
I have a low-ish quality mp3 of them that I found on the internet, I'd kill to see a video of 'em.
