From the archives, we’ve compiled a two volume set of CDs chronicling the sounds of a bygone era: the days when steam locomotives moved the trains of America’s railroads.
Disc 1 covers the eastern United States (and Canada). Featured are steam locomotives of the Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Western, Illinois Central, Norfolk & Western, Nickel Plate Road, New York Central, and the Pennsylvania Railroad.
