Your comment brought back a long forgotten memory. Specifically, standing at Walong siding on the Tehachapi Loop on a hot summer day and hearing the doppler effect of a motor as each car in a passenger train went by.

I never gave it much thought at the time but now I know the reason. Thanks!

Cheers,
Jack
