Trains and Things

This is a long train passing by quite slowly through an industrial area in Portland Oregon. The tracks are somewhat near some roads, so there is occasional traffic noise. Here are a few moments that are especially interesting perhaps:
2:34 big crash
5:15 loud scraping
5:59 big crash
8:27 big crash
18:02 medium crash
20:42 scraping
Recorded with an AT4021 stereo pair into a modified Marantz PMD661.

great recording, very rich sounds. what is your experience with the AT4021s? I've been thinking of getting a pair for recording various soundscapes in nature and urban areas.
