After reading the discussion on loud locomotives and SLSF 1522 was mentioned, here is a recording I made of 1522 climbing Rolla Hill with an excursion train. Rolla Hill is just east of Rolla, MO.

Beautiful...hardworking steam and climbs are what I love the most..since the days
when I was very young and used to listen to the B&O work steam from Piedmont all the way to Altamont on the 17 mile grade..on a clear night!
Nice work, sir, and thanks for posting.
I liked the way you stuck with the recording on the passing farm shot..nice to hear the whistle (Hancock, I assume) in the distance!

Thanks for sharing! I love the crossing signal in the distance on the first clip! For me the sound is just as important as any other aspect. It's music to my ears 
I can't get he links to work on any of my computers. I have tried two windows based and one Ipad.

I'm glad I was able to go to the NHRS convention in St. Louis in 1990. Got to see this engine, as well as Cotton Belt 819 under steam.
Nice recordings, I had to turn the volume way up on my laptop to hear it at first...
