Freight Train Passing

This CSX freight train was captured at the River Rd and Ward Rd crossing in North Tonawanda, NY using a Tascam DR-40 set to the A/B position and a low cut set to 80Hz.

I’ve heard this train for months now at my home approximately 7 miles (11.25 km) away and it can be heard faintly in some of my backyard recordings. Being so close was a stunning experience, feeling the ground move, watching the tracks wave as the rail cars passed over and one lone spike that would jump making a hammering sound.
