Feb. 10, 1925
     To concert by Cincinnati Orch., A. Honeggan’s “Pacific 231” –
     The power of a big locomotive expressed in music -
     I still feel and hear the deep dull thuds of sound, suggesting terrific power – power that is at rest, but panting – at times the rhythmic exhaust snorts, growing more and more rapid –
     Strange sounds of machinery – The train rushing along at full speed at night – a terrific roar of sound, with violins making a shrill punctuating hissing sound as of escaping steam –
