No relation between the two at all. Don Leslie, the inventor of the Leslie speaker, formed Electro Music in California to manufacture the speakers. The train horns are made by a company called Leslie Controls, now located in Tampa, FL.  Never was any connection between the two, unless you consider that both the Leslie speakers and the train horns emit sound.

I was looking for recordings of soulful train whistles. You know there's nothing like that sound of the train as it rolls down the valley, hitting your soul like a major-minor 9th organ chord, with doppler effect, cancellation and addition of the horns' waves reflections... real moving sounds.
I came upon this: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL378AD8D131FAE466
Leslie Train Horns ! I wonder - could Don Leslie have been behind these? I didn't find any reference to him, but it sure would fit that the man behind the brilliant rotary speaker cabinet had his hand in these as well. Anybody know?
cheers, Ron
