And "I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars"

Also, "Crazy Train" by Ozzie Osborne.= "All aboard!..."
 
"Rock Island Line" many different recordings but the Johnny Cash-Sun records version is still the only one in my mind. this topic takes me back when i was a little kid and we visited my uncles farm i'd always loose myself in his country-western record collection, Jonny Cash, Roy Acuff and the entire Jimmie Rodgers catalogue all on vinyl. i've since inherited that collection and am in the process of converting it to MP3. "Hey Porter" is another one of my all time favourites. at my grandparents farm i had a tyco trainset, it was a F unit looking locomotive painted in Rock Island Red & Yellow.i'd watch that go around for hours while listening to Roy Acuff sing "Wabash Cannonball" & "Freight Train Blues"
