Field recording of a diesel passenger train ('Pacer' operated by Northern Rail) passing by. Sorry about the quick ending, but a dog started barking and I had to cut that off as it ruined the recording. (I'll try and get the dog recording up as soon as possible)

I was waiting for about 3 minutes for the train to depart from the station (see geotag) when it began to move off in the distance and passed under the pedestrian bridge over the track I recorded this on. Fair spring evening weather, I had been sick earlier on but had managed to get out to record this- thank heaven!
Maybe it's a better version of my previous Train1.wav (but that was recorded somewhere else up from the station) http://freesound.org/people/kwahmah_02/sounds/250079/

Recorded 14th May 2015 with a 5th gen iPod touch. Edited with Audacity.
