A picture of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad #1 "Anaka" (The engine that was most likely responsible for the recording).
This sound effect can be found on Burtis Bills' Sounds of The American West, which was made by The Hollywood Edge.
Many people believed that the whistle heard in this sound effect is a Princeton Steptop 3 Chime that was recorded from Southern Railway #4501. However, It was unlikely that it doesn't sound like it from the same whistle chords.
The whistle most likely came from the following 2 locomotives: Laona and Northern Railway #4, and Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad #1 "Anaka" because it matches the chords. It's currently unknown if both locomotives were confirmed to be used in the recording.
