Once again, we stumble upon another sound effect I just so happened to have found on Sound Ideas, and I have no clue on where this one came from. Arkay Productions? Mobile Fidelity? Who knows? This definitely sounds like something you would hear on the Southern Pacific back in the 50s or 60s. Pretty strange. What do you guys think? Let’s talk in the comments!

Well everyone, I have done the impossible. Despite all the odds, especially now that its raining a lot down in SoCal at the time Im uploading, here is the second installment of my Trainz with real SFX series! Enjoy!
- Train 1
At the crack of dawn, all is quiet in British Columbia, until the sound of a 101-car-long freight train breaks the silence, with an ear-splitting burst of the air horn, which grew louder as the train got closer and the earth-shattering rumble which followed afterwards.

- Train 2
A local BC Rail freight train gives an early wake up call from its horn, and then made a stop for what seemed to be a crew change point.

- Train 3
Back in the 1990s, long before there were Surfliners, there were the San Diegans. This train was running a few hours behind schedule, and the engineer was desperate to make up for lost time.

- Train 4
It was late in the afternoon, and a Metrolink commuter train comes around a bend blowing its horn for... you get the idea.

(Side note: The bells you are hearing are supposed to be from another crossing which can be seen from the distance after the train passes the camera, not in the foreground.)
- Train 5
Former SP GS-4 #4449 pulls the most beautiful train in the world gives the locals a big surprise, since theyve never seen such a rare breed of locomotive before.

- Train 6
Here we see yet another Amtrak San Diegan roaring through downtown. Not much to explain here.

- Train 7
- A SP local freight rounds a bend, approaching a lonely crossing.

- Train 8
Training day on the BC Rail (no pun intended) and SD40-2 #766 was supposed to be off to get a coal train, only to end up on a wrong track! The 766’s crew had a good laugh after the little mishap after the day, but that’s another story.

- Train 9
Former CP Royal Hudson 4-6-4 #2860 pulls its excursion train rounds a bend blowing its whistle for a nearby crossing offscreen.

-Train 10 (Final)
We travel back to California, and a local SP Cement train pulled by two GP9s closes the curtains passing through an apple orchard, and into the distance.

Ok I made most of that stuff up, but its loosely inspired by several railfan videos which had vivid descriptions of where certain shots were taken.
Edit 3/26/24: The route that has been featured in this video, as well as several of my other videos is now deleted. Sorry everyone. I had a bit of a problem with my computer storage, and… yeah.

Well everyone, this is what I would concider a reboot of my Real Train SFX series (which was literally only one video) except that now I am using Trainz 2022 instead of Trainz 2019! And of course, all the SFX belong to SoundDogs.
- Train 1: Amtrak #42 with Milwaukee Road SD40-2 #185 leading the train along with two SDP40F locomotives, while approaching a nearby railroad crossing offscreen.

Note: This is not the exact recreation of a typical Amtrak Consist, but I did try my best.
- Train #2: Two ATSF C40-8W locomotives were being transfered via light engine to a nearby district just a few miles outside of Los Angeles.

- Train #3: A Santa Fe Intermodal roars by through a small town before heading back out to the rural farmlands. When trains haul, they can haul. Big time.

- Train #4: A Southern Pacific freight train is approaching a crossing in the woods just outside an abandoned rail facility not too far away.

- Train #5 McCloud River #25 is traveling smoothly along the old tracks through the majestic woods.

- Train #6: A Santa Fe coal train drifts easily with loaded hopper cars en route to a nearby coal plant.
SFX: https://www.sounddogs.com//search?keywords=10132446&share=true
- Train #7: A pair of three SP GP9 locomotives were hauling a mixed freight train up the grade. These old diesels sure can still haul despite their age.
