In reply to the discussion: What are the most uplifting peaceful and patriotic songs for you? [View all]countryjake
(8,554 posts)70. Same here...my railroad blood goes way back...
and this song (as written and performed by Steve Goodman) is also one of my all-time faves. I'm glad you've finally been given a chance to hear this original...I like Arlo's too, but I saw Steve do this live, many years ago, he sang and played much better than in this video, and it was absolutely ghostly, a superb performance of a song which he seldom got much credit for. (and I was on one of my many train trips at the time, riding the Empire Builder!)
Sorry that I didn't see your response sooner; I never do remember to check "My Posts" and missed it completely.
