Sights and sounds from the recording of North Country Trains HD Professional Sound Effects Library from The Recordist. Part 2: Week 1 through 5 and week 7 of recording freight trains all over the panhandle of Idaho. A Sennheiser MKH-8040ST was used for all of the trains in this video. I went to various locations in and around Sandpoint Idaho and traveled South to isolated crossings to record horn blasts and high speed pass bys. I also was able to get railcars pulling in, stopping and departing with the big metal “boom” the cars make when the get yanked by a mile long train.
