obscure train trivia... the Beach Boys sampled the sounds of a 3 engine diesel cargo train at about 70 mph, and closed the last song on the legendary album Pet Sounds with it


 As the flutes from “Caroline, No” fade away, the melancholic sound of a passing train is heard while dogs wail. The locomotive whistle was sampled off a 1963 effects album called Mister D’s Machine (“Train #58, the Owl at Edison, California”)
