Various Artists - Steam Locomotives 1 / Various

In 1957 Vinton Wight recorded and collected the sounds various different Steam Locomotives. He explains that Stack Music is that delightful sound caused by super heated steam, exhausted from the cylinder, through the stack of a locomotive. Other sounds include the wheels clanking on the tracks, bells ringing and other engine sounds, all of which create an interesting rhythmic listen. As Wight says of train sounds: they can be soft and soothing or loud and commanding; a sort of symphony. Liner notes include information on each train and a biography of Wight.
