One valve for the whistle [removed] and one for train air.         
Conductor could apply the air brake as needed and also whistle for the crossing in a shoving move. On the EL this was seen every day when trains came off the Dayton Branch. They would pull past AC Tower, wait to be lined into the yard and once clear would back across Kenton Ave and into the yard. They had to also reverse the process when leaving Marion Yard.
