Boot Hill 2007 - Locomotive Whistles - Part 2

Here is part 2 of some video I took, containing most of the locomotive whistles blown at the 2007 Boot Hill whistle blow in Jones, Michigan. For those who love whistles, Boot Hill has locomotive whistles, traction engine whistles, factory whistles, ship whistles, and more! In all, we blew about 70 whistles on steam. In order, here are the whistles in this video:

- unknown 5-chime
- C&O 3-chime (Mike Daugherty replica)
- Santa Fe 5-chime (Mike Daugherty replica)
- homemade 5-chime (Elwood Belnap)
- 5.5" plain
- Illinois Central long bell 3-chime
- long bell 3-chime (bell by Jeff Hosford)
- Southern 3-chime (Mike Daugherty replica)

Second, third (which sounds almost like an MD NYC 6 chimes to me), fourth, sixth = coolzers

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.

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.
