Hard-Workin' Steamers! | A Steam Locomotive "Stack Talk" Compilation

Steam locomotives produce a variety of unique sounds, one of the most distinctive being their exhaust. Whether accelerating from a stop, slugging a heavy load up a hill, or cruising along at track speed, this "stack talk" (as it is typically called) is the tell-tale sound of a steam locomotive hard at work.

I've dug through the archives to piece together this compilation of what I believe to be some of my better shots of steam engine stack talk. I apologize in advance for the image quality on the older clips, but I chose them primarily for the audio anyway. So sit back, relax, crank up your speakers, and enjoy 46 minutes of glorious chug-chug!
