    #486 is undoubtedly my personal favorite, that D&RGW 5 is amoungst the most enchanted sounding one. The crew in most of the clips in which it was featured never really pulled the chord down hard. With the fulcrum arm wide open the 486s 5 Chime is awestriking. But the #488, #481, #480, #478, #487 are also among my favorites.

    486’s Rio Grande 5 chime whistle is actually just better than the rest! The best whistle in existence in my opinion! 481’s (478’s from what I’ve heard, not sure whether it’s true or not) D&RGW 5 chime is my second fav, but nearly tied with 486’s. 473’s D&RGW 3 chime in third! Anyway, absolutely fantastic video! Thank you so much for filming these whistles on the most beautiful locomotives on the face of the earth! Absolutely made my day!
