The travels of Porky - with a 'new' whistle
Author: roustabout

Quoted from the Santiam Excursion Train's FaceBook Page:  "A whistle with history This Denver & Rio Grande Western 5 Chime Steam Whistle was gifted to Ray Burris’s grandfather by the president of the D&RGW Railroad nearly 70 years ago.This weekend, for the very first time, Ray and his family finally got to hear it come to life — mounted on our own Santa Maria 205 by Engineer Aaron Zorko."
