Went through the whole Sound Ideas library and still couldn't find anything as striking. Incredible effect, and invaluable for my period film. Thank you.

Hmm the website seems to have eaten my previous comment. I say again, this is an awesome sound, made for a great ghost train for my radio show's Halloween special. You can see all the attributions and download or listen links here.
