Music / train video
Posted by zardoz on Friday, November 5, 2004 9:57 AM
I was playing spin-the-dial (channel surfing, for those of you who do not remember when tv's had actual dials that you had to get up from the couch to turn) the other night, and came across a music video from R.E.M. The video looked like it used film of the CSX from around 1980 or so, perhaps even earlier. No steam, but lots of older equipment shown.

The name of the song is "Driver 8", from the album "Fables of the Reconstruction".

Good song, too bad it isn't on their greatest hits album. Never seen the video though.
