Chehalis - 201 Going Away And LIC55 Stop And Protect West St

Eastbound freight... Noise in downtown Monroe still not loud enough to overcome the sound of the distant train horns...

Train Whistling At Sultan Recorded In Monroe

Eastbound freight crossing Miller River West of Skykomish... In addition to the usual screeches the hum pitch kept shifting... Makes for a good track to play out onto the neighborhood on halloween night...

Spookystuff

I was parked along Auburn Way and heard this train coming North on the mainline in the middle of the night, hence the near absence of automotive vehicle noises...  Recorded with electret condenser mics plugged into a Sony minidisc recorder sometime in the late 1990's... Note the incredibly loud whine coming from one of the engines. This train was pulling a fairly short manifest on nearly zero grade but the power was struggling to keep it moving, so I am guessing the whiny engine was experiencing something of a "technical difficulty", my guess being a short-or-open-circuit alternator winding...
