This might be the shortest video on the Nation. I've been working on making train whistle sounds on my lap steel, The first wail is straight into the amp with a touch of reverb. The second wail is through my modified Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, but any distortion or OD should work just fine. Enjoy!

@ Silent Jim - Good idea on the little dog.  I just tried it but he won't stay in tune. Thanks for the kind words!

@ Uncle John - great word play, and thanks!  As a writer you might appreciate Ray Bradbury's description of a train whistle:

If I could make THAT train whistle I'd be tickled...

Excellence and sonic accuracy in brevity.   Huh.  Sounded like  a train whistle.
