Sounds of Steam Railroading Volumes 1 - 6
Sounds of Steam Railroading (Volumes 1 - 6)
THE COMPLETE ORIGINAL SERIES - Digitally Restored and remastered from the historic albums. A Five CD Box Set. This series, a collection of sounds of mixed and mainline trains pulled by steam locomotives on the Norfolk and Western Railway, was recorded by the late O. Winston Link in the twilight of the steam era. The set, housed in a handsome slipcase, compiles the originally released five LP albums and one 45rpm. Each disc features the original liner notes in a new 28-page booklet with Link’s photographs, some previously unpublished! Link’s sound recordings, as presented here, are part of a select group of 50 that the Library of Congress recently added to it’s collection, representing historic cultural events covering almost a century.
