It’s been a long week. I know it’s only Tuesday, but I’m just saying. So what so you? I’ll hold back with mine until later. Or now. City of New Orleans. Kind of sad but it sure does capture what I imagine would have been the essence of transcontinental rail at that time. Catchy too.

One of my favorites would have to " On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" from the movie "The Harvey Girls" (I think) with Judy Garland, which is about the women that worked in the Fred Harvey restaurants in Santa Fe depots along the route (before the days of good on-train dining). Its on YouTube.
There's a lot great train songs and a couple I've always liked but hadn't heard in awhile are alternative rock tunes from the 1980's: "The conductor wore black" by Rank and File and "Driver 8" by R.E.M. "Train Kept a Rollin" by Johnnie Burnette '50's version, Yardbirds '60's version and Aerosmith '70's version are pretty good too.
