Accent on Steam Volume One

Arkay Enterprises - Accent on Steam Volume One

released on cassette in 1978

Cassette has recordings of train engines and train whistles from various places such as Ecuador, Argentina, South Africa, what was then Czechoslavakia, what was then West Germany, Canada, and the United States. Recordings of gate and bell mechanisms, cannon fire, chipmunks, and birds make brief appearances. In my modest collection of train sound recordings, this one may be my favorite.
