  • The audio recording is a track from "Strasburg Rail Road - The Road to Paradise" released in 1987 by Semaphore Records. I've only ever found one copy of this (on record, aka. vinyl), in years of searching for it. The rear cover mentioned it being also available on CD, but after a discussion with Al Botto from Semaphore Records a number of years ago, he indicated that the CD release was never actually made. I transferred this myself using a Sony PS-HX500 Turntable.
    In the beginning of the recording you hear the sounds of steady rain and Thunder, before you hear former-PRR D16sb 1223 as she barrels past with her train.
    The description of the track on the record indicates that 1223 is pulling her train toward Paradise, but with her speed and the strength of her exhaust it sounds to me more like a Strasburg Train normally does on the return trip to East Strasburg which is uphill most of the way.
    Pictures accompanying this are the front and rear cover of the album along with a close-up of the description of this track.
    I am posting this as the audio recording in question is no longer available for purchase, and to my understanding will not be made available for purchase again. This video is posted for the purpose of the listening enjoyment of others who, like myself, have many fond memories of riding behind the 1223. To be clear, I am making no profit from this whatsoever.
    If the original company or copyright owner should find this and wish it to be taken down, please contact me immediately.
