You missed my favorite. "Train Of Love" by Annette Funicello!!!!!!!!
This sounds like something I started a few years back over on "FIDO_TRAINS"
back in pre-internet days, were you around there then? (My other hobby is
record collecting).
Give me a few days, I'll collect all these posts and integrate them into my
database, then generate a new report with everything I already had plus the
new info, and put it up here.

I like the earlier version by
my mind just went blank

Willie's version is good. He picked up the tempo, and kept the song moving
<G>.
The other version is good, because it is slower, like the words in the song.
Either way, I like the story it tells, and the pictures it puts in your mind.
nope, it's still blank

Trey Palmer
"Hobo's Lullaby" -- Kingston Trio
"Driver 8" -- R.E.M.
"500 Miles" -- Kingston Trio (and many others)
And two whose titles I'm not sure of:
"Hobo's Blues" -- John Lee Hooker
"Mister Engineer" -- bluegrass song, can't remember the artist:
Engineer, reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that mournful sound,
For it blends with the feeling that's in me,
The one I love has turned me down.
Finally: "Take the A Train" is the theme song for the Duke Ellington
Orchestra, and I think it was written by Duke Ellington and Billy
Strayhorn.

Actually, it was first performed by Arlo's good friend Steve Goodman (same
guy who did Mr. Bojangles), but Arlo made it famous.

Tom,
not mentioned already:
Pennsylvania 65000, Glenn Miller
and once I had on 78 RPM: " 2-19 blues". Possibly a traditional blues.
Mine was by Bunk Johnson.
Goes something like this:
" number (?) two nineteen took my babe away, 2 19 bring her back some
day"
The flipside was "Ace in the hole", whatever that may mean..
This is one of the two or three lost records that I'd like to have
again.
Much later I met 2-19 as a designation for 'second 19', the name of a
train. (SP ?) Then I realized that the song was about a train.. before
that I thought 2-19 to be some jailbird.
Bunk Johnson, as I remember the story, was well known in the early days.
Someone found him, well in his seventies, without teeth...
They gave him teeth, a horn (Cornet), and recorded fine original New
Orleans Jazz.

Wim.

He also wrote "You never called me by my name"
"I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison,
And I went to pick her up in the rain,
But before I got to the station in my puck up truck,
She got runned over by a damned old train"

I hate to bring you into the 1980's Karl but...
Little Eva's version made #1 for one week in 1962. It spent 12 weeks on the Top
40 chart and went gold.
Grand Funk's version made #1 for two weeks in 1974. It spent 14 weeks on the
Top 40 chart and went gold.
And... Kyle Minogue's version made #3 in 1988. It spent 13 weeks on the Top 40
chart and also went gold.

PA 6-5000 was the telephone number for a famous hotel...

are looking for Canadian Railroad Trilogy in particular, you have many choices
including Gord's Gold, a single CD with 21 tracks (predates Wreck Of The Edmund
Fitzgerald, but has his other top 10 hits), and - if he is one of your all-time
favorite artists - you might even want to consider the boxed set from Rhino.
That is four CDs, with all the hits, plus 16 wonderful songs that were never
released before, a beautiful little book with photos, a biography by Nicholas
Jennings, and notes on the songs by GL himself. All the songs were remastered by
Rhino's Bill Inglot. If you need links to online stores, send me an e-mail.

How about the Waldorf-Astoria

Runaway train ain't never commin' back
Runaway train on a two way track
Does this ring a bell? who does it? I looked up the title runaway
train and there are ton's of versions/artists with that title.

By the way, where is mister Friday night DJ himself, Fred Dabney. I
would think he would jump into this thread. Or for that matter mister
sax man Andy Harman. Maybe we should put haggis in the subject line.

Sounds right. I DO know it was the actual phone number for reservations at
the hotel where Miller was the "House Band" at the time the song was
recorded.
Whether that was the Waldorf or not.....?

Besides Little Feat's Red Streamliner and Lafayette Railroad, there's
also Two Trains - from the same album as Lafayette Railroad - Dixie
Chicken; Loco Motives (not to be confused with Locomotion) from their
1998 release Under The Radar; Lonesome Whistle (a Hank Williams cover)
on Hoy Hoy! and New Delhi Freight Train (a Terry Allen cover from his
Lubbock Over Everything) on Time Loves A Hero; and finally, Boom Box
Car from Shake Me Up.
First time I heard Loco Motives, I had just bought the CD and was
driving around the Twin Cities listening to it on a pleasant almost-
summer day. The song kicked in just as I was driving past the St. Paul
freight yard down by the Mississippi River. Maybe I planeed it that way.

That ain't what "little Eva" herself says. In fact, Eva Boyd (whe now lives
here in "beertown" and I've had the pleasure of meeting) is VERY bitter to
this day about how Carol and Gerry, in her words, "Stole" the songwriting
credit away from her.

here's one probably nobody will get..."Gravy Train" by the band CPR (Crosby,
Pevar and Raymond) David Crosby's new band with his son. Great song, they were
playing it on tour last fall, and I expect it will be on their new (2nd) album,
which should be out this year. How's that for a plug?

"Runaway Train," by Soul Asylum.
It got to #5 on the charts in the summer of 1993.

record called: Don't Stand Me Still, sung and played to the tune of
Don't Fence Me In. "Don't Stand Me Still" was a famous Slogan applied to
Pennsy Boxcars in the mid 1950's and the song was released for
promotional reasons... Gary

While not a song, I always liked the Robyn Hitchcock album title: "I
often dream of trains."
And don't forget the Notting Hillbillies' song "Workin' on the Railroad"
which is not "I've been working on the railroad."
lyrics:
workin' on the railroad
for a dollah a day
workin' on the railroad
for a dollah a day
workin' on the railroad
for a dollah a day
goin ta get my money,
goin ta get my pay.
Take this hammer,
take it to the Cap'n
take this hammer,
take it to the Cap'n
take this hammer,
take it to the Cap'n
Tell'im I'm gone
Tell'im I'm gone.
Simple lyrics, great tune and the beat is kept by a metal on metal
"hammer" sound.
My all time favorites though are City of New Orleans sung by Arlo Guthrie
and Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot.

1987 release "In the Dark" and also a very different (compared to Dead's)
"Casey Jones" which was the on put out by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman on
their 1996 release "Shady Grove". BTW "Shady Grove" is a wonderful example
of Garcia's versatility, it's a terrific acoustic session with immaculate
picking.
