Sound Recordings

The sound of a Niagara accelerating out of a station on the Living with steam site has been recovered. With this file it's possible to hear a NYC Niagara heading train #78! This is an audio file about 10 minutes ong. It can now be found on Giancarlo De Marco's Italian NYC web site at http://www.giancarlodemarco.com/NYC/prophet5.ram

Living with steam - No longer active- I'm looking for it now.
At this link, there are several very unique and rare NYC sound sound recordings of steam trains in Buffalo and Western New York made by John M. Prophet capturing a piece of American history that neither he nor the rest of the world thought would ever disappear. Real Player is required.
