Recorded on April 22, 2001. Ossian, Indiana . A complete runby. The leader was NS 9659, a C40-9W in gray primer paint. Notice it takes just 53 seconds for the train to pass.
Birds return the scene back to calm.
NS 21A to open up the throttle on the Huntington District and highball through downtown Huntington at 60 mph track speed. Right after the crossing gate bell stops you'll hear the doppler sound from behind the train bouncing off the surrounding buildings and ahead of the train. This is one of the effects I strive for in my recordings. Recorded on April 1, 2001. A nice sequence.
