Freight Train Passing Overhead by Jack Lowe by Jack Lowe published on 2020-07-14T17:30:10Z Thursday 9th July 2020: This is a recording I've wanted to make ever since moving to Newcastle in 2000 and walking through the Ouseburn Valley for the first time. Good quality headphones or speakers recommended... ...the sound of a chirruping bird is swapped for the chirruping bridge as a heavy freight train passes overhead on the 1830s Ouseburn Viaduct, one of the major bridges along the route of the East Coast Mainline. I intend to make a longer soundscape of this special spot in due course. The photograph accompanying the recording is one I made 17 years ago in July 2003. Genre Field Recording
