Most but not all Q waycars had those whistles. You are correct that the whistles told the conductor when the brakes released.

On the back of the air brake pipe bracket there is a peanut whistle piped to the exhaust port. So whenever the brakes release, the conductor and rear brakeman would hear a TWEEEEEeeeeeeeet. I've never seen anything like it. Can any Q veterans explain why it's there? Eric __._,_.___
