BNSF's NEW SONG

BNSF’s NEW SONG

They don’t write songs about railroads or trains anymore, but I’ve got one, or two actually, for BNSF, however they’re only parodies of other train songs.

I’ll get them started and you all can add verses on to them.

(From Orange Blossom Special)

Hey lookie yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track
Hey lookie yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track
It’s that orange B-N-S-F, haulin’ them double-stacks
…

Or, my favorite, from The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe

Do you hear that horn blowin’ down the line?
I figure that’s its gotta be an ol’ Dash-nine
It’s the only one that’ll sound that way
On the Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe

See those double-stacks comin’ round the bend
They’ve been to Chicago and back again
They’re going all the way to Califor-ni-ay
On the Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe
…

(someone get Weird Al or Paul Anka, I think I’ve got a hit song!) [;)]

Ok remember you asked for it-
everybody Limbo
Lets go down with matt and Joe
by the old B&O
which is now csx
and is always in a mess
Where we see the trains go by
and oh my how they fly
with the power of bnsf
and not of csx ha ha ha
(how low can you go)
stay safe

One for the Q!

"Up in Chicago on the Q's East End,

I boarded the Zephyr, aka the West Wind.

Flew down that Granger's double track main,

Never to see the Midwest again.

From wagon wheels to stainless steel,

a century of service on the Burlington Route.


Everywhere West, that's the way to go!

What can outrun us, no one knows!

The Hill Lines stand tough and proud,

and the Queen of the Midwest is the Burlington Route!"

That sounds like it could be a Johnny Cash song, but I just thought it up.

UP bites the big one.....again.
BNSF rules again.
another big blow to the UNION PACIFIC.
because the BNSF has left UP in the dust AGAIN.
UNION PACIFIc's day's are numberd,because here comes the BNSF and were kicking your ***(UP).
take the side track UP cuz were runnin you down.
hear this to all the people of the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD "BNSF WE WILL DELIVER".
BNSF RULES FOREVER! BNSF.

One toke over the line, Sweet Jesus,
One toke over the line.
Sitting downtown in the Amtrak station, one toke over the line.

Waiting for the train that goes home sweet Mary, knowing that it aint on time,
Sitting downtown in the Amtrak station,
one toke over the line...


(anybody awake during the 70s ought to know the music to it...)

Ok part two
can you hear them can you see
those yellow engines of up
fur and gat with an x
and other rent a wrecks
matt be nimble matt be quick
matt put down that old oak stick
as we watch these trains roll and rock
all along the Defiance block.
stay safe
Joe

Second verse, same as the first... another creative burst.

(From Orange Blossom Special)

Hey lookie yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track
Hey lookie yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track
It’s that orange B-N-S-F, haulin’ them double-stacks
…

(harmonica break)

Well, they're goin to Chicago, delivering a load of Nike shoes
And out to California, wearing out their old brake shoes
They'll ride that Orange B-N-S-F, and lose those merger blues

(spoken:)
"Say there, railroad, when you goin' to go to New York?"
"When am I goin to New York? Don't know don't recon I ever will!"
"Ain't you worried about merging with Norfolk Southern?"
"Oh, I don't care if I do-di-do-di-do-di-do-di-do-di!"

Hey talk about a ramblin', it's the fastest train in the west
Talk about the travelin', it's the fastest train in the west
It's the Orange B-N-S-F, speedin' throughout the west

I'll stop there before butcher the song any further [;)]

Union Pacific,Uber Alles,
We will buy you,We'll prevail.
Their new slogan could be:
Today Southern Pacific,Tomorrow CSX.
