The Ozark Mountain
Sounds of St. Louis and San Francisco 4-8-2 1522
1522 accelerates out of Old Monroe, Missouri, following an inspection stop. 1522 is makes time as the train approaches another inspection stop at Clarksville, Missouri. 1522 departs Clarksville within sight of the Mississippi River. At Louisiana, Missouri, the rain is falling as 1522 whistles through town. 1522 pulls the short passenger train up the hill out of the Mississippi River Valley at Quincy. 1522 makes track speed eastbound through Paloma, Illinois.
Just outside of Centralia, Illinois, 1522 begins accelerating up the hill to Cravat. The microphones are located on the side of one of the passenger cars. The shifts to another day as we pace the locomotive accelerating away from Bushnell, Illinois. Soon the engine is up to sixty miles per hour and the scene shifts back to onboard the train as it slows for Waltonville and bangs across the Union Pacific.
1522 blasts up Iron Hill with a freight train and passes by in the cut below, tops the hill and begins accelerating into St. Clair. An hour behind schedule, 1522 barks up the grade westbound from Dillon to Rolla. After turning the train on the wye at Bundy Junction and stopping for water at Newburg, 1522 tackles the ruling grade for eastbound trains bound for St. Louis, the 1.2 percent of Rolla Hill. The location is atop a cut roughly mid way up the grade.
1522 approached a stop at Cuba for a crew change. The crew change is been made as 1522 whistles off in downtown Cuba. 1522’s exhaust slaps back at us from several houses off to the left as she barks out of town. In downtown Sullivan, Missouri, 1522 approaches at track speed on one of the few stretches of ribbon rail on B.N.S.F.’s Cuba Subdivision.
To end the CD, three pacing sequences are combined to create on seamless scene as 1522 starts moving after meeting a coal train. As the train picks up speed, the crew blows down the engine’s boiler. Before reaching track speed, the engineer lays off on the throttle as the train is approaching one of several slow orders in effect in the area. Then 1522 passes a stopped coal train at Armour. The coal train is between 1522 and the microphone, causing the surging effect as 1522 blows for a crossing. Just north of Rushville 1522 reaches the end of another slow order as the engineer opens up on the throttle. Speed increases quickly, as 1522 accelerates the train from ten miles per hour to sixty in short order. The program ends as 1522 approaches Kenmoor, Missouri, at sixty mile per hour.
Any fan of the steam locomotive will enjoy this CD from Diverging Clear Productions. This program is best heard in a quiet room with a good set of headphones.
