Lot: 146  Description: D&RGW - double marked on 5 chime cast iron stair step whistle with 3568 embossed along bottom edge. Complete with valve and could still be in good working order. Measures approximately 20" high. An enclosed note states that this whistle came off of mallet engine that was wrecked in 1939 just outside of Westwater, Colo., near the Utah border. I was able to find an accident report about that time which stated it was engine 1409. A great piece of Colorado history and another welcome and scarce item to add to your collection.
