A photo of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad #3751 (The engine responsible for the recordings.) in 1992, pulling an excursion train
a picture Great Western Railroad of Colorado no. 51 (one of engines originally said to be the responsible for the recording), sitting idle at the 1986 Vancouver Steam Expo in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
this is a sound effect that can be found on the Major Records Sound Effects Library made by Valentino Music Company. This sound effect was used and edited by Disney, and it wasn't included on Cartoon Trax Volume 1 or Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.
The whistle heard in this sound is from Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe No. 3751's 5 chime whistle but it was first thought that the engine responsible for the recording was Great Western Railroad 2-8-0 No. 51 or Reading & Northern (Formerly Reading Blue Mountain and Northern) G1 4-6-2 No. 425. but it was unlikely because GW No. 51's CB&Q 5 chime doesn't sound close enough and none of R&N No. 425's whistles sound like this.
