Recordist's notes
Hamm, Hauptbahnhof, main station. the train can't continue because of an electrical defect. doors are open, people waiting in and outside, making phone calls, talking, ideling. a train passes at the opposite track. a strange periodic hum from a hidden control panel indicates malfunction.
