This sound effect can be found on the Series 4000 Hollywood Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. It is very similar from the OMI sound effect Train Whistles - Single Whistle and Toy Train Whistle Do TE2019102 from The Edge Edition Volume 2. The whistle that is heard in this sound effect is an Acme triple toned high pitched train whistle numbered 536.5. However, it’s often said that it came from Disneyland Railroad #3 "Fred Gurley", which used to have a similar sounding whistle.
