    I think Trains Mag did a full-length feature on the BL20-2 at some point. They were designed to recycle the chassis and electricals of GP7's and GP9's while still being a mostly-new locomotive. For some reason, though, they just couldn't make the economics of rebuilding versus starting-from-scratch work out properly in the end.

Runners up would be the streamlined power cars, NW-series, RS1325, and SDL39. Throw in the GMD1 A-1-A, A-1-A units! Hey! Those NW4s looked great on the Union to Lincoln, Nebraska locals!

Actually, what one could read in the sixties was that the steamwhistle-like sound was produced by an early version of an electronic horn, produced by way of a speaker that looked something like a bull-horn, visible in some photos. May not have been true of all FL-9's, which were produced in two batches of 30 units each, 1956 and 1960. Another unique feature of FL-9 was length, longer than just plain F's, shorter than E's, with two-axle truck front, three-axle truck rear. Fascinating locomotive.
