Sound Ideas, WHISTLE, STEAM - FLINTSTONE FACTORY WHISTLE, LONG, CARTOON

A picture of Nevada Northern #40 (The engine responsible for the recording.), idling on part of the railroad's line, while pulling a short passenger train.

A picture of the exact Powell 3 chime steam whistle mounted on #40, as seen in a 1990's VHS titled, "Thunder on the Rails".

This sound effect can be found on the Hanna-Barbera Lost Treasures Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. It was originally an MGM effect that debuted in 1948 with Half-Pint Pygmy, a George and Junior cartoon. The title of this sound effect should not be confused with Sound Ideas, WHISTLE, STEAM - FACTORY WHISTLE, LARGE FACTORY. Even though this sound effect (along with the shortened variant) is listed as a factory whistle, the whistle that is heard in this sound effect is a Powell 3 chime steam whistle that was recorded from Nevada Northern Railroad #40.
