ON THE BACK COVER
The sounds from the bygone era of steam railroading heard on this record were provided by O. Winston Link Railway Productions, 381 Park Avenue South, New York. Mr. Link, who has spent over twenty years and traveled thousands of miles to record authentic steam train sounds of working railroads has issued five critically acclaimed albums, although none of the Norfolk and Western trains heard here has ever been released on a record. Four different classes of locomotive are featured in the excerpts. Opening Side 1 is a Class J locomotive (4-8-4, Northern) starting up in Keystone, West Virginia. We follow it through tunnels and across bridges on its two-mile run to the station in North Fork. Side 1 closes with an Sl Switch Engine (0-8-0) pushing cars around the station in Roanoke. Side 2 opens with five whistle lasts from a Class A locomotive (2-6-6-4, Simple articulated Mallet) in Bedford, Virginia, to call in the flagman. Two more blasts and the engine starts up, and we follow it as this Merchandise Time Freight No. 85 gathers speed. Side 2 closes with a recording made at night. It opens with couplers banging together in the station at North Fork and then, off in the distance, a whistle from another train approaching the station is heard. This train, pulled by a Y6 locomotive (2-8-8-2, Simple-Compound-Articulated-Mallet), comes right down the main street and then fades into the distance.
