No, the communicating whistles attached to the air line are air whistles, not 
steam.

That surprises me a bit.  I thought the signaling whistles inside the 
locomotive cab and on the caboose were air whistles and not connected to steam.

First, all whistles are steam. Second, modern CPR steam engines had 
air-operated whistles. All semi-streamlined engines would have them.
