welded rail train not too long ago, they haul multiple lengths of rail
on flatcars, the rail usually around 2000' and they unload it through
rollers which guide it outward over the edge of the flatcar and down
on the ground amd when they get to the end of one rail, they weld it
to the next one and so on. When the welder strikes the rail it
ricochets through the entire length making an eerie star wars kind of
sound, like nothing I've ever heard before. Just happened to have my
video camera as that is something that had to be saved, so imagine the
guy-wire sound times xx!! Also worth mentioning, A&E did a
Biography on Doug Trumbull, and most of the program dealt with how he
created special effects,and remember one clip showing a Fairlight.
Very interesting program. Doug
