In 1987, jazz musician Pat Metheny and his group released the album "Still Life (Talking)." One of the songs on the album is titled "Last Train Home." There are several different versions of the song, one of which is an extended track accompanied by a video featuring wonderful scenes of steam locomotives from a variety of international locations, some of which include Italy, Germany and South Africa. Of course, the U.S. is represented by some readily recognizable favorites. With its musical interpretation of steam locomotive exhaust, the song is hauntingly beautiful and, as a life-long enthusiast of railroading, I want this song playing when I pass on. Enjoy!
