North Country Trains HD, new library available at The Recordist.
Presenting North Country Trains HD Professional Sound Effects Library. 117 High Definition diesel train beasts from the wilds of North Idaho. Recorded at 24Bit 96kHz at various locations in the pristine panhandle of Idaho.
Included in this collection are pass bys with and without horns, cranky rail car movements, under bridge perspectives, slack take up metal impacts, screeching wheels, locomotive engines, horn blasts and much more.
Many perspectives were captured to give you a wide variety of source to work with. Recorded almost entirely with the Sennheiser MKH-8040ST microphone for incredible low and high frequency sound design flexibility. On occasion a Sony PCM-D1 and D-50 were used on the “oops, I forgot to bring my Sennheiser MKH-8040ST” recording sessions.

There’s a lot of great stuff in there — thanks Frank! Shame we don’t have any superfast superlight trains here in the US. Sounds like an excuse to visit Japan, right?
