This is an anime sound effect that was used in Galaxy Express 999. The whistle was from a Japanese National Railway 5 chime whistle, for a while it was thought to be recorded from JNR C61-20, However, Youtuber "Bandit Gamer 77" said it's not. He has an archive collection of these sounds. He said it came from JNR D51-1017.
