Adrian Greenwood – Falling in love with the sound of trains

Sound recordist Adrian Greenwood discovered his combined love of trains and their sounds as a young boy standing on bridges watching freight trains pass underneath him and his father.   In this special Great Rail Tale, Adrian takes us into his sound archive to hear some of his favourite train sounds, including the sound of a prototype Intercity 125 recorded at the 150th anniversary celebrations cavalcade. He recalls some of his journeys taken by rail and the sounds and emotions they evoke in him and ends with a special recording celebrating the National Railway Museum railfest in 2004.
