Im am mostly country, Garth Brooks, Chris LeDoux Tim McGraw, But I like others, some AC-DC, Flogging Molly, I think most of them have a song that mentions the railroad. But that is what I listen to while I chase Trains.

Yes, Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics and Harry Warren the music for "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" which was featured in the film "The Harvey Girls" with Judy Garland and a lot of others. It's on "The Harvey Girls" CD which I saw on the shelf at the music section of our Barnes & Noble bookstore.

Does anyone know if there is a song "Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe" on CD? It has been discussed in the forum before.

entitled "Trains".

[{(-_-)}] When you're out railfanning, what's are some of the tunes that keep you going? After that three hour train chase across a state, do you crank up the "Lovesick Blues", or what? Keep it clean, clear, and of course, on topic. Discussion starts...now.[{(-_-)}]
