Many railroad today use "Defect Detectors" to monitor a passing train, some will look for: Hotbox, dragging equipment, wheel impact or sliding wheel, high car or shifted loads. After a train passes it will broadcast on the train frequency giving the mile post marker, axle count and sometimes train speed. These detectors are one reason that the caboose and its personel are no longer needed.
I use Mini-DV cameras, a Sony TRV-900 or a Sony TRV-27 with their own microphone placed on a good fluid head tripod for steady pans and tilts. Then edit it with Ulead Director's Cut editing software. Thanks!
If you listen again, you will hear that the engineer had an extra car in he's train (from his log sheet) that the rail detector broadcasted. Simple as that!
