Description

Living with Steam features the railroad sound recordings made by John M. Prophet III, noted Pennsylvania Railroad historian and dedicated railfan for his entire life. Beginning in 1948, John used a Webster-Chicago Model 288-1 wire recorder to make recordings in Buffalo and other areas in Western New York. When stream engines pulling passenger or freight trains became scarce in the Buffalo area, John ventured into Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other areas to continue making his incredible recordings.
