This is a loop so you can have an infinite train roll through your soundscape. Recorded on my cellphone and cleaned up in reaper. Production-now. Com - shout-outs welcome.
Boxcars creaking as the train begins to move from standstill. Recorded far from the engines so no roar to drown the pure metal creaking sounds. Some wind noise -- one bump right at the start -- recorded on a very windy day.
