Steam engines ... huge black monsters shuddering under loads of coal and compressed steam . . . lumbering masses of iron and steel that blast the air as they spit black smoke to the heavens ... tons of metal shaking the earth as wheels churn over gleaming tracks, bearing witness to man's genius for harnessing power ... immense drive shafts that grind in rhythmic strokes as the "iron horse" plows along the rails ... wailing whistles that echo through silent countryside as people sleep in their beds... .
Diesel engines ... oil-driven behemoths that pack the energy of a thousand whales ... leviathans of the rails whose purring belies their capacity to haul a hundred loaded freight cars .. . iron bulls that can push railroad cars around the tracks like balloons in the wind ... giants whose deep-throated horns rend the air as the train rumbles past crossings . . . goliaths that make the ground tremble as they churn around curves. .. .
These are sounds of a vanishing era. And so is the piercing hiss of the steam engine as it pauses to reduce pressure ... the cacophony of the switching engine as it lurches back and forth in the switching yard . . the coupling of freight cars as they are shunted from track to track ... the shriek of steel against steel as thousands of tons of metal grind to a stop on rails ... the ear-splitting blasts of steam as the engine gathers momentum . . . the mighty clang of the bell as it reverberates over the din ... all are sounds of a vanishing era.
