mp3 file Locomotive in Idle – A Norfolk Southern D9-40CW idles as it awaits a crew in NS' Lamberts Point Yard. The air brake system can be heard charging and releasing pressure.
mp3 file Lamberts Point Locomotives – A Norfolk Southern D9-40CW pulls a line of 10 other locomotives out of Lamberts Point Yard. The first and last units are powered.
mp3 file Lamberts Point Dumper – These are the sounds of cars being pushed into the rotary dumper at Lamberts Point. The cars come through the "barney yard" by gravity and stop at the end of the thaw sheds. The metallic squealing sound is that of the retarders slowing and stopping the cars to get them into position. A mechanism called the barney pushes the cars two at a time up an incline into the rotary dumper, then returns for the next pair of cars, while the dumper turns the cars upside down and dumps the coal into the conveyor system that carries the coal to ships at Pier 6. The soft hissing sound near the end of the sound clip is the coal being dumped.
