Durango & Silverton no. 473 (the engine responsible for the recording) sitting idle in Sliverton, Colorado.
This sound effect can be found on Burtis Bills' Sounds of The American West, which was made by The Hollywood Edge. Just like Hollywoodedge, Steam Train WhistleM BB030701, the whistle that is heard in this sound effect is the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad 3 Chime steam whistle that was recorded from Durango & Silverton (ex-D&RGW) 2-8-2 Mikado-type steam locomotive #473. This sound effect was also recorded in a similar way to how 701 was done. (Being recorded from a distance.)
