This sound effect can be found on the Series 6000 Extension I Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. The whistle that is heard in this sound effect is South Simcoe Railway (ex-Canadian Pacific Railway) steam locomotive #136's 5 chime steam whistle. It's commonly referred to as "Porter's whistle", because it has been used as the whistle on the character named Porter from (formerly) long-running British children's TV series, Thomas & Friends. (Albeit being edited to be at a higher pitch and speed.)
