The name of the 68's engineer was Emidio Giarola, and he loved to put some things to make engine a kind of "exotic". The engine's whistle he made a bit larger to have a stronger and unmistakable sound. Other detail about the 68: there are sisters of her in Cuba but in Brazil it is a lone 10-20D, the only 2'6" gauge 2-8-0 built for Oeste de Minas Railway by BLW in the 20th century. PS: Gorgeous picture!
