A picture of the Reading 6 chime steam whistle that was heard in this sound track mounted on the #90. (Circa 2017)
This sound effect can be found on The Edge Edition Volume 1, which was made by The Hollywood Edge. It should not be confused with the similar sounding Sound Ideas, TRAIN, STEAM - WHISTLE, SINGLE, CLOSE UP 01 and Sound Ideas, TRAIN, STEAM - WHISTLE, SINGLE, CLOSE UP 02 from the The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library.
Although this sound effect is listed as a train horn, it's actually a whistle. And it was recorded from Strasburg Railroad (ex-Great Western Railway of Colorado) steam locomotive #90, who sports a Reading 6 chime steam whistle. (The one that is heard in the sound effect.)
Another sound effect, which can be found on The Edge Edition Volume 1, includes this sound effect in it. It is listed as Steam Train On Board SS014201.
