Mount Washington horn a thing of the past?

We're not around the lake nearly as much as we used to be sadly, but visited yesterday for a trip on the Mount where we noticed that the crew was using the newer whistle exclusively as they came into port, departing, and for traffic out on the route.

Have they given up on the big blaster air horn? It was always cool to hear that thing as they came into Weirs Bay. I'll admit, that thing could make you jump if you were on the top or fore deck when the captain yanked on it - sometimes with a warning, sometimes not.
