It is apparently no longer available under Ringtones. But, the good news is that, unlike text tones, you can still add custom tones to ring tones. You can either purchase a similar tone from the iTunes Store or create your own. Using GarageBand seems to be the easiest way.

You can also let Apple know that you'd like them to add it back:

Out of all the ringtones they take Choo-choo. Apple is killing me. I accidently changed my tone showing my Mom how to do it and can’t restore my tone at all.

It's unfortunate that such a minor thing seems to be having such a profound affect on your health. You may want to let Apple know of this terrible situation:

Currently, your options are to either buy or make a replacement tone.
