Album DescriptionVolume 2 is a fine continuation of the exciting railroading journal begun on Sounds of Trains Volume 1. Featured are the sounds of the Norfolk Southern steam locomotives No. 1218, the articulated 2-6-6-4 Class A restored to service in April 1987; No. 611, the 4-8-4 thoroughbred known as the "J"; No. 4501, the venerable 2-8-2 that kind of started it all nearly fifty years ago (1957); and K-2A Pacific No. 152. Oh yes, Southern FP 7's are included as well. The highlight of this production revolves around the National Railway Historical Society convention held in Roanoke, Virginia, July 29-August 2, 1987. If you can imagine one mainline steam locomotive assaulting Christiansburg Mountain, try two of them...side by side! Recorded in COLUSSUS digital stereo, 57 minutes.
