COMMENTARY
4. Begins with train at standstill, continuing as it pulls out, interesting change of ambience as train passes varying cityscape formations.
5. Interesting natural fade in as recordist approaches bells; levels were too high however, due to the rushed circumstances, to prevent bells from distorting.
6. Uneventful.
7. Very clear recording; banging sound is the pump lever knocking against metal housing each time it was pumped.
