...so you could feel the power, whether it be steam of diesel. No way to really describe it.

And by up close I mean within a 10 yard distance or closer. The diesel engines are doable, the steam would have to be on a train or rail fan meet. Warning - you may pee your pants

I did feel the wind blast while walking near the track at the Michigan 500. - alaskahiatt 11:47:01 11/20/23 (0)
It actually leaned me to one side. While in AF pilot training in Chandler, AZ, some friends came to visit and we stood near the jet takeoff position. That vibrated the whole body, and we were stupid to not wear ear plugs. While flying the jet, one doesn't hear any of that. The only problem was holding the brakes while the afterburner was lit.

Even with my pair of HSU sonotube subs, the MF record did not transfer the power and noise of the trains. However, I can understand how they must sound up close like you mentioned.
