I know for sure that she still has at least two of them functioning. I have a home video of her, taken in the mid 90's I think, of her departing Duluth. She uses two of them in the video. First she signals the captain salute to the bridge with the air horn on the pilothouse, and then she uses the old two tone steam horns with another salute. Its kinda neat to see the steam shoot out from between the self unloader hoist and the stack. I personally thought the steam ones alone were very cool. Low and raspy.
