A picture of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad no. 3759 (The engine responsible for the recording.), on static display at the "Locomotive Park" in Kingman, Arizona. (Circa 2012)
This is a rare sound effect that can't be found on any generic sound effects library. The whistle heard in this sound effect is the 5 chime steam whistle from Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe "Northern" type steam locomotive no. 3759. It should not be confused with "A Farewell To Steam" or "Last Train Out Los Angeles On The Santa Fe, Los Angeles To San Bernardino" made by HiFi Records.
