Sounds of Steam In the 50’s

Volume 2: The West

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 2 covers the western United States. Featured are steam locomotives of the Colorado & Southern, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Santa Maria Valley. Featured locomotives include the world famous Big Boys of the Union Pacific and Cab Forwards of the Southern Pacific..
