This CD features the sounds of diesel’s second and third generations. Ride in the cab of Amtrak passenger locomotives from E.M.D. and G.E. on the mainline. Pace alongside Illinois Central GP40 and GP38 diesels on the point of an intermodal train. Pace alongside Union Pacific AC4400CWs on the head of a coal train in Nebraska. Listen as a coal train with AC4400CWs on the lead and an SD90/43MAC shoving on the rear pass below with the microphones a few feet from the top of the train.
Trackside scenes include G.E. C30-7s, C40-8s and AC4400CWs on coal trains, G.E. P42 and E.M.D. F40 diesels on Amtrak passenger trains, E.M.D. F40s on the Metra commuter rush in the Chicago area, E.M.D. GP38 and SD70 locomotives on freight trains and SD70MACs on coal trains. Union Pacific’s business train with E units rebuilt with the innards of a GP38 wrap up this program. If you like the sounds of today’s railroading, be sure to check out this CD.
