Yeah, I just didn't put the two together.. IF THE SIGN HAD A BIG "H" on it I might have figured it out myself! no one uses the word whistle much anymore. when someone says whistle I think of a 0-4-2 narrow gauge or model RR!!! something like that haha! S-H

"Hornsoff" ? I thought that was what BNSF conductors do with those airbrake slips from the car department (as told to me by a SF conductor) ... I won't go into details ...
