a picture of Southern Pacific No. 2472 (the engine probably responsible for the recording), approaching the Nile's Canyon Railway "Sunol" depot in Sunol, California. (Circa 2012)
This is a rare sound effect that is not available on the Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library. The whistle that is heard in this sound effect is most likely a Southern Pacific 6 chime whistle from Southern Pacific 4-6-2 No. 2472.
