Steam locomotives and boats (not just steamboats) as well as diesel locomotives are some of the few human-made machines that sound like they have a soul. If you didn’t know better, you’d probably think they are alive, and not just based on the sounds they make but also the incredible amount of heat they give off.

They need to breathe, eat, and drink water. They move, are warm to the touch, and their roar is heard for miles. They pant when they work hard, and breathe easy when the gradient is with them. That all sounds like stuff that lives to me.

I live in Washington State, and there's a part of the eastern cascades where I didn't even know there was a railroad. Creepy as hell just hearing a diesel locomotive.

18:55-19:38- THIS is where I wish to move to!!!!!! That little place on the right side of the tracks & as close to the crossing as possible. Family says that I'm NUTS!!! I LOVE steam locomotives & their sounds. Those sounds, especially the multi-chime whistles, can lull me to sleep! There are 2 railroad crossings of the Susquehanna (freight line only) Railroad within 2 blocks of my present home, but NO steam engines!! I was born in '58 & steam was already replaced by diesels here in northern NJ- I believe in '56, so I missed out on the chuff &, of course, the beautiful whistles!

Sing for me Bertha. Sing for me. Loud and proud. Sing to me your rhythmic huff chuff huff chuff. Sing to me your melodic whistle. Show your new kin what a real beauty is. I don’t know what it is about these old girls. They just have a beauty to them that the new ones could never hold. The new ones just have a low rumble to them and an ear shattering horn. Other than the wheels, there isn’t anything moving to captivate you. And they are all so bland. They all look the same, aside from the paint scheme for each railroad they operate for. I love hearing that huff chuff huff chuff, The chug chug chug chug, Or the chuga luga chuga luga, of the old ones. To be mesmerized by the pistons and all of the mechanical workings of a steam locomotive.
