PRR Steam Audio Recording: Pacing a PRR M1a Mountain (1955)

Watch in HD and Pump Volume Up

John M. Prophet III made this recording in September of 1955. This is definitely what I'd consider the best vintage audio recording of a PRR locomotive....you can clearly hear the chuffs, the drivers clanking, as well as the cars driving by them. And let's not forget that gorgeous Pennsy whistle!

From Track Description...

"A Class M1a on an eastbound freight picking up speed after slowing down at Duncannon, Pa. The engineman acknowledges the car pacing and recording the locomotive with short whistling."

From "Steam On The Standard Railroad Of The World Vol. II" by Semaphore Records. Really great album!
