Near the intersection of 2nd and Everett Street, there was a very eerie progression of noises. It started off with a low whistle, then a sound as if mass amounts of steam were pouring out the rivets of a machine, more squeaking, then finally a giant lurch as the behemoth rode off into the distance.
As one can tell by listening, the recording may sound a bit overmodulated...not my technical best, I can admit. However, it is still one I enjoy more than most of the other recordings I took, primarily because of the squeaking sounds, as well as that booming departure which comes at the end of the clip. It's quite nice, I say; one really gets a sense of physical progression, given some imagination...
Simply put, a bus stopped, picked up people, then started again. Beautiful sentiment though, no?
