Mural #25 Waiting for the Whistle

This is an image of Bob Swanson, mill engineer and the inventor of the whistle, standing beside the gleaming brass and piping of the device itself. This is superimposed on a sepia-like composition of mill workers who have just completed the rebuilding of the interlocking skidder. Jack Work (with hat), inspector for the E&N Railway, gave the okay for the machine to be returned to the tracks. Swanson was responsible for the refitting, devising air controls and a second boiler for extra power.
