Riding the night train through the storm
This night train through a storm carries you in a dim, empty carriage, and it rolls on free in your browser. Soft lamps glow above the seats. Outside, heavy rain lashes the windows, and water streams across the glass in long lines.
The carriage rumbles and hums as the train races through the dark. Every few seconds, the wheels clack over another rail joint. Thunder rolls slowly over the fields, rises, and fades. Then the wheels squeal through a sharp curve, thin and metallic, and you grip the armrest.
Out in the night, another train sounds one long, lonely note. Ahead of you, your own train answers with 2 deep notes. The old carriage creaks around you, the storm goes on, and you feel snug, like the only person awake in the world.
For the rain without the rumbles, choose Without thunder. Pick Wilder storm for heavier rain and louder thunder.

- Train carriage rumble: The steady rumble and rushing hum inside a fast train at night, with soft rattles of the coach. Plays all the time.
- Wheels over rail joints: A steady clickety-clack as the wheels roll over each rail joint below your seat. Plays all the time.
- Rain on the train window: Heavy rain lashes the windows as the train moves, with streams of water and thick drops on the glass. Plays all the time.
- Thunder outside: Thunder rolls slowly across the stormy sky in long, low rumbles that rise and fade one after another. Plays all the time.
- Distant train horn: A far-off horn sounds one deep, lonely note across the open country, then fades. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
