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
