The hancock chime whistle makes a beautiful sound. This brings back fond memories for me.I lived near the NYNH&H RR back in the 1950s. These hancock whistles were used on their GP9 , RS11 , H16-44 , SW1200 , FL9 , and RDC budd cars.These whistles were also used on their EP5 electric locos and also their washboard electric mu cars used a version of this whistle that didn't have the sound reflecter around it. I lived near the railroads maybrook line and I would enjoy listening to these whistles in the middle of the night. I just wish that those whistles were louder . Such a beautiful sound in the middle of the night!!
The tone change is smooth an rich , beautiful change , congratulations very nice makes me close my eyes and an smile..a sound long forgotten but loved so much...
I swear if I see another person saying how this is the Polar Express’s whistle I’m gonna lecture them on how 1225’s (the film version not the actual locomotive irl) whistle is sierra railway’s number 3
