Track 4 on satellite radio
Posted by ChiefEagles on Sunday, November 5, 2006 5:47 PM
Found this while in Ft. Myers [most full size rental cars at National now have satellite radio].  Since I do not know much about satellite radio, I was banging around the channels.  Found TRACK 4.  1940's music.  What caught my attention was when I hit that channel, they were announcing a train leaving on TRACK 4.  Between songs, they use 1940's passenger train names and then announce it leaving on track 4 and the cities the train stops.   You passenger train nuts might want to stop in a listen.  Also they do the news from 1940's.  That is funny.

There's a lot you can do to add an aural atmosphere to your train room. I have hundreds of old time radio tapes. I also have a 24 hour recording of a day of broadcasting of a Washington DC station in Sept 1939 - including news, time codes, network and local programs, all sorts of ads, and a full Washington Senators game. The Senators were far out of contention at the time.
