[CBQ] Re: Unusual Company Form

["mdeckergwtcnet" <mdecker@gwtc.net>]

My last "efficiency test" was whistling the East and West crossings at Edgemont 
while I was leaving town.  Weed weasel #2 (the Roadforeman) passed me on both.  
He probably never left the depot....you can hear 'em both from there :>)  My 
"standard" crossing whistle varies slightly from the "book".  Being a "whistle 
artist" when I had a whistle, up at The Dells, I have a little extra "boop" at 
the end :>)  It's the best I can do with an electric whistle valve LOL

Best,

Mike
