Really interesting. I remember hearing one of these locally here. It was many years ago.
I like it! I will start collecting some and send them on.
Might I suggest that you add the date recorded (if known) for historical purposes?
the northeast corridor ends in NY New Haven to Boston in the shoreline. need to add soundview
Are there still voice detectors in the Baltimore/Maryland area, or is it all digital data now?
Nick,
That's great! The older stuff especially brings back a lot of fond memories.
Couple of corrections though. . . unless they've been moved very recently, the CSX Columbus Subdivision and Northern Subdivision are in the Louisville Division, not the Great Lakes Division.
Also on the Northern Subdivision, the detector at MP 538.0 is in Kentucky, not Ohio; the border along the Ohio River is 6.5 miles railroad west of there (the Limeville/Sciotoville Bridge runs between MP1.4 and 2.1).
Next time I'm out roaming about I'll see if I can't grab audio of the detectors at 22.2 (Robbins), 35.8 (MR Cabin, kind of) and 51.3 (Hopetown) on the Northern Sub for you.

I live near 2 defect scanner sites (D52.5 in Holloway MI and D64.2 in Sand Creek MI) I'll see if I can get a recording from one or both sites.
What an awesome endeavor! Bravo!
