Re: Sounds of Trains and the 1980's

Oh ok, who else was on the video that could be seen? The train heading back to Chama had the different crew and locomotive and you can see the engineer wearing sunglasses as they bounce across the grade crossing.
The Mobile Fidelity recording is the one I have; how about Track 8 in the yard, any idea what the crew is talking about? The whistles on the last track sound very eerie and mysterious sounding with all the reverb and echo on the mountains. Was that dubbed in to magnify the whistle so you could hear it better or is that how it actually sounds? I noticed a couple weeks ago in Durango the whistle bounces off both ridges when the train is coming through the valley into town.
