Disney Incoming Train Sound

This is a Disney sound effect, that can not be found in the Cartoon Trax Volume 1 library. The whistle that is heard in this sound effect as heard is a Star Brass 5 chime steam whistle. It was most likely sourced from either a Southern Pacific, or Union Pacific Railroad steam locomotive, and it was recorded sometime in the late 30s or the early '40s. But it was either from Fort Worth & Western #2248's, SNCF 241a65's or Union Pacific #1243's whistle. [Note: SNCF 241A65 currently have a single chime whistle and a Star Brass 5 Chime.]
