it’s vibes-based, repeat until it feels right and you need the sweet release of a choochoo 
hell yeah just chugga till it feels right.
I feel like this is an alternate explanation for where babies come from.
Sometimes you gotta build up a big one. I really like 16 chuggas
also fun to find a friend into trains so you can chugga together, the sound gets more train-like the more people you add, and the anticipation of never knowing when you or a partner is gonna choochoo really adds to the chugga chugga pleasure
8 with emphasis on alternating chuggas. CHUGGA chugga CHUGGA chugga CHUGGA chugga CHUGGA chugga CHOO CHOO
I think a minimum of 8 but above that multiples of 4 are acceptable
Exactly, and I think it's also acceptable to only emphasize the first, fifth, and every next fourth until the choo choo
chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO
chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO
chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO
this is the way, comrades.

Any less than 4 is a sin against (presumably) the child you're entertaining

That’s a lotta chuggas.
Nobody got time for 12 chuggas
It’s actually 10 + 2 choo to make up a 12 bar blues progression. The 2 choo are commonly referred to as the turnaround.
It’s technically a call and response structure, meaning the other participants get to decide when to choo, with 10 being the most common tradition.
anything less is an unprofessional railroad engineer playing with the steam whistle.
we gotta get serious and make up the time we lost slowing in Telluride to get that Marshal's dispatch before we hit Lost Canyon.
There’s no time for games chuggas are serious bidness.
we can't slow down now. this here's El Malpais. all you find are scorpions, snakes and desperados.
Why would you stop Chugging? Never stop Chugging. You can Choo in large comical exhalations when you sleep.
chuggers stay winning
12, full stop. There are no other options, suggesting otherwise is revisionist and counter-revolutionary.
i've depicted myself as the sleek 4 chugga bullet train and you as the weak environmentally dangerous 16 chugga coal train.
you need exactly 12, with emphasis on the first CHUGGA of each of the three sets of 4, and the CHOO CHOO must be pronounced most vociferously.
trust me, its very important to keep this in mind for the ritual to work
as many as it takes
3 shows a lack of commitment, while 5 is an odd number, and you need to keep a ratio of 1 up-chugga : 1 down-chugga.
6 and above are overkill, and each additional chugga after 5 demonstrates your lack of security in the 4 original chuggas.

Some power of 2

Reminds me of the train set from World of Warcraft. You placed it on the ground and all characters within 10 meters would do the /train emote "chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO" every 10 seconds or so for the duration the train set was active (like 5 minutes, with 10 minute cooldown). So naturally I would find the place with the most players packed together (Orgrimmar auction house) and drop it down right in the middle of the densest group I could find, making a whole bunch of characters do the train emote at once, all loud as hell because there's like 50 of them packed together. Really annoyed the hell out of people, I loved doing that shit.
Eventually they nerfed it so that it only worked on people you were in a party with. RIP train set.
My natural count is at 12
Umm two?
I"m always impressed when someone gives an objectively wrong answer to a subjective question.
Oh wtf, bruz?
Its not 1920 comrade, we don't need to ration the chuggas.
Four chuggas and I will die on this hill
The amount of anger in this thread at the wrong answers is hilarious 🤣
2, 4, and 6 all seem acceptable to me
Any even number is acceptable.
If you encounter someone who employs an odd number of Chuggas, drop everything and run.
Typically 4, but as many as 16 when the train first starts
I typically do 8 but I do think DirtyPair's rendition is proper. According to a mentalfloss article (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/51996/12-onomatopoeias-around-world) in Korea they say chik chik pok pok, for the clackity sound on the tracks. I read 'chuff' in British English for the train steam sound but I'm not sure it's used onomatopoeiatically.
