Train Sounds of the 40s & 50s - Steam Locomotives Original Recordings

"Train Sounds of the 1940s & 50s"
Audio CD Run Time: 72.00 minutes

Imagine standing track side as steam powered passenger trains race by at 75 mph and diesels pulling freight cars clickety-clack over rail joints. As these trains roar past, you will hear a wide variety of whistles blown in signature style by engineers of a bygone era. In addition to experiencing the awesome power, you may even smell the coal smoke!

Train Sounds was recorded by my late father, Harold S. Spicer, an award-winning photographer for the Baltimore News Post. He had a passion for steam locomotives and the foresight to preserve the sounds of the Baltimore and Ohio, New York Central, and Pennsylvania Railroad before they disappeared.

This 72-minute Audio CD contains 50 original exterior recordings captured 1948 to 1952. Rail fans love the nostalgia and model railroaders appreciate the extended play time with a reprise mix at the end. Whether for yourself or as a gift for parents and spouse, Train Sounds is a historic treasure evoking memories and emotions.
