Great recording, Tim. I noticed you're in Portland, OR like me! If you're interested, the Lafayette St. pedestrian bridge passes directly over a freight line which sounds AWESOME. If the train is long enough, you can only hear the rail cars and not the engines. I would have recorded it but I didn't have my Zoom on me at the time :-(
