Yup. 1127. It's the horizontal pipe that's visible under the horn in this Steve Sloan photo.

The whistle was stolen while the unit was working in San Jose. However, the unit is now owned by Oregon Pacific. They'll be restoring it as shown in the photo (including a reproduction whistle and the original M3R1 horn).
