New York Central's E unit horn would often emit a shrill high-pitched whistle
indicating the horn needed cleaning. Only on one trip, westbound on #1 on
December 31, 1966, did I encounter a Q E-unit with that problem, and that was
the one leading our train.

Hello,
I have listened to several internet horn sites, but cannot find the horn
sound which was unique to CB&Q E units. It was a high-pitched shrill sound,
as I recall.
Anybody there know the designation of these horns from long ago? Thanks.
