Were does that classic sound on a steam locomotive come from when on the move?

Choo Choo Choo.....It comes from the release of the pressure from the piston used to drive the arm that turns the wheels.
The exhaust steam is vented up through the funnel (chimney) via blast pipe.
This is at the front of the boiler tubes and causes a vacuum, drawing air through the tubes and the fire box.
So actually running the engine causes more effecient fire to boil the water and make steam. It's the blast pipe, up through the funnel that causes the 'Chuff' sound.

Why should the pressure inside the pressure cooker be released slowly?
Pressure cookers use steam. Steam, under the right circumstances, can run a locomotive. If you aren't careful releasing the steam from a pressure cooker, the lid can come flying off with the force of a locomotive. It can be very dangerous and not in a ..."whoops silly me" kind of way. More like a "call an ambulance, I don't think their gonna make it" kinda way.
