Hi jojomang,
They belonged to my deceased grandfather. He loved trains and the sounds of trains. He could tell what train it was just listening to the whistle. I'll have to look for dates on the albums... my gramps has been gone thirty five years. Those posted are 78's. I have a few 45's, will puts them up soon.
Thanks for the comment
