[RITSlist] 5100 Class 4-8-4 Whistles

[Ron Chamberlain]

Can anyone confirm the type and manufacturer of the whistles used on the 5100-5109,5110-5119 Northerns. From the numerous photos in Lloyd Stagner's outstanding article, "Rock Island's Last and Best:5100-Class 4-8-4s" in THE ROCKET vol. 2007 issue2, it appears three different types were used.  Two of the types appear as the following: the Nathan five chime, and the Hancock three chime(like UP 844's).  The most numerous type used though, appears to be a shop built whistle of some type.   Thanks. Ron
