Uneven but nice if you're a locomotive fan.......2003-10-14
You have to like locomotives to appreciate this CD. About an hour or so long, it features sounds (listening from the cab area) of four locomotives journeying down the tracks. This CD starts out with a 2-8-2 Mikado building up steam and then chugging off on its run. Plenty of steam whistling for those of you that like American Train whistles versus those shrill European locomotive ones on foreign CDs. Track 2 takes you on a ride on a 4-6-4 Royal Hudson "Streamliner" already in mid journey. You can hear some talking in the locomotive cab background, but it is hard to make out what the engineers are saying. My favorite track is the third because it features a 2-8-4 Berkshire (built during the Second World War) with what has to be the mellowest train whistle of all time. It almost seems like the locomotive is wailing in the night every time we hear those long whistle blasts-truly reflecting a time sadly gone by. The fourth track features a powerful 2-10-4. The sound quality is a bit uneven, with the first track being the clearest and the fourth having sound quality problems. This may have to do with the age of the recordings and a difference of equipment. Listening to Southern RR's #4501 (track 1) build up steam and head off is a treat. Likewise I often replay track 3 to listen to that Berkshire's whistle. There are plenty of squeaks of equipment and other railroad car sounds as the trains head over uneven tracks, and in tracks 2 and 4 there is some talking from the engineers. There is not, however, any of the "klickity-Klack" sound one would expect to hear in a passenger car compartment-as the chugging of the locomotives overpowers most other sounds (remember, you are listening from each loco's cab). Too bad there is no recordings of these old behemoths arriving at stations-whistles blowing, bells rings and platform announcements-- but one can't have everything. As Abraham Lincoln said: "People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like." Knocked down one star for uneven audio.
