Some History:
"The Railroad Record Club was started in the early
1950s by William Steventon (1921-1993), a farmer living near Hawkins,
Wisconsin. He issued a total of 37 10″ records (each containing about
30 minutes of audio) in his original series between about 1955 and 1965.
In most years, four titles were issued.
One fan reports, “The Railroad Record Club was a hobby operation. Bill would edit tapes either sent to him by his friends, or from his own work, make a master tape, and send it off RCA’s custom record plant.”
Most records featured steam locomotives, but there were some traction recordings as well. All of these included sounds that were once familiar to all, but were already fast disappearing from the American scene. The recordings of the Railroad Record Club are an important part of the historical record, and supplement the films and photographs taken at the time."
