Week 36
Train journey, Rhondda Cynon Taf

On a small (2 carriage) train near Trehafod, I recorded from the inside using a contact microphone pressed against metal sheeting (the strip of metal below the green interior in the picture above). You can here the train rattling along, accelerating, breaking, the doors opening, and trees scraping the windows at certain moments.
