I used a crappy (noisy) old Radio Shack stereo condenser microphone in "wide" mode mounted about 5 feet from the tracks.
Being an excursion train, the compressors and other noise from the passenger consist drowned out the locomotive after it passed. Also, I really wish the attendant on the rear had not blown that "tweet tweet" whistle as he passed, but such is life.
Unbelievable, I'm searching for this sound for more than 10 years. Beautiful! I used to live in the US and maybe it is strange but one of my best memories are of the sound of the diesel whistle of a freighttrain. This one with the dog barking is the max. thanks. Now I hope I will be able to download it and I will put it in my cellphone. regards Frank
Nice sound. Thanks
Was looking for some old steam train sounds for our student production and this one is great. Thanks!
Just what I needed for my grand childs short slideshow he is train mad
Exactly what I need! -I'm making a short documentary on trains for a school project. And I agree, the "tweet tweet" is annoying.
Perfect sound!

Nice example of the genre! :) This is what Freesound is all about, thanks for sharing.
What was the recording chain? The stereo separation is profound, using a baffle of some kind?
Fantastic - you have really captured some archetypal railway sounds with these uploads.
Excellent - that classic sound!
Good sound!
