Listening to Bill Monroe, is to begin to understand, how to pick, and sing all music. Do'es the video to Driver 8 show Family Lines engines on the inspection pit? I did some research on the Rapid Eye Movement website. I'm looking to get that video, as it showed SD40-2's in North Georgia, around Athens, in the late eighties!

Reply Edit PennsyHoosier Member sinceOctober 2004 From: Northern Indiana 1,000 posts Posted by PennsyHoosier on Monday, November 22, 2004 11:48 PM Rounder Records has a GREAT CD titled "Train 45: Railroad Songs of the Early 1900s." I play it all the time when I'm "working on the railroad." It is worth getting.

Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 8:36 PM I'd realy have to agree with " egmurphy " on this one. The "Long Twin Silver Line" By Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band! Is truelly an awesome song that tells a story ! The "Against the Wind" Album that this song is on was released in 1980 & is one of my all time favorites. Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 7:11 PM One of my favorites is "Raised by the RR Line" by the NS Lawmen. They also do a great job on "City of New Orleans." gtirr Reply Edit TrainFreak409 Member sinceDecember 2003 From: Dallas, GA 2,643 posts Posted by TrainFreak409 on Sunday, November 21, 2004 6:41 PM Here are my favorites: "The Locomotion" by Grand Funk Railroad. Very good skating song, I love roller skating to it. The beat just gets your wheels moving. "Wreck of the Old 97" by Johnny Cash. Great song, what else can I say? "The Gallopin' Goose" by C. W. McCall. You can guess what it's about. Not many people seem to know about this song. I don't like the song where Casey Jones is supposedly high on cocane, it sickens me. ~[8]~ TrainFreak409 ~[8]~ Scott - Dispatcher, Norfolk Southern Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 6:35 PM I don't know if it is the right name but "The train kept rolling all night long" Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 6:22 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by Fergmiester What!

If you ask me, it should be Canada's national anthem. (Although "O, Canada" is a pretty terrific tune.) Reply Edit trainfan1221 Member sinceJuly 2003 From: Elmwood Park, NJ 2,385 posts Posted by trainfan1221 on Sunday, November 21, 2004 6:20 PM I love music, and I love trains, but I never cared for combining the two. I am referring to the more traditional songs, and stuff like John Denvers train album. I am a big fan of both Bruce songs of course, they just happen to be train related and not a so called standard. I also like "Southern Pacific" by Neil Young and "runaway Train" by Soul Asylum. Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 5:13 PM I also live in Georgia and was big fan of REM in college. Driver 8 is very good but I like Downbound Train & Land of Hope and Dreams - both by Bruce Springsteen.
