This review is from: Rhythm of the Rails -- Railroad Music and Train Songs (Audio CD)

Dad listens to this CD a lot, he's a retired RR worker of 31 yrs on the MO Pac. He started working on engines when the old steamers were still running, and watched the change in the late 40's to early 50's of diesels. At 89 years old dad can still go to a RR museum, and tell you more than you want to know about how the old steamers worked.
