'Songs & Sounds of Canadian Steam' - Dave Baker This CD is a concept album featuring some of the best known and loved Canadian railway songs from the pens of several great Canadian songwriters. It has been created for the 'railway buff', who is emotionally moved by the haunting wail of a steam locomotive whistle. His Kettle Valley Line song, recounts a childhood experience that occurred in 1952, when a double headed steam passenger train stopped to take on water and turned a wide-eyed 7 yr. old boy into a lifetime rail buff.
