Railfan Technology > Recording device for train ride

Greetings, living in Colorado, I am pretty lucky with the easy proximity to live steam. I love the sounds of steam, and trains in general.
I am interested in mounting a microphone outside a train, and just letting it record the journey.
I have a Rode microphone and a cheap device, but the sound quality doesn’t seem to be anything to write home about.
What type of a device should I be looking for?
The mic does have a windsock, but I think the root cause is my choice in cheap device.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
