WTG Dude! Here's a some of my fave train songs for your work music:

Bruce Cockburn: Train In The Rain:

Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright and Renee Fleming: In The Pines:

You really can't see him, but this is the best version on youtube. Bruce Cockburn: Night Train:

The Band & Paul Butterfield: Mystery Train:

Greatful Dead: Casey Jones:

Pentangle: Train Song:

Allison Krauss and Union Station: Man Of Constant Sorrow:

Savoy Brown: Hellbound Train:

Not necessarily ABOUT trains, but there's a train in the video. Roy Rogers used to play my high school dances when we were kids: Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo: Ain't No Bread In The Breadbox:

Bruce Cockburn: How I Spent My Fall Vacation:

Maura O'Connell, James Grant & Nancy Griffiths:Blue Train:

Bob Dylan: It Takes A Lot To Laugh. Ot Takes A Train To Cry:

For Frau Kaleun, Gotta take the bad with the good, Darlin'.: Arlo Guthrie at the Boston Pops: City Of New Orleans:

Huddie Ledbetter AKA Leadbelly: Rock Island Line:

Peter Green, founding member of Fleetwood Mac doing Robert Johnson's Love In Vain:

Make a CD of these songs and play them over your intercom. EVERYONE will want to ride YOUR Train.

What, no City Of New Orleans?

I dunno, maybe that one's too depressing.

Excellant taste Ishmael, but you're forgetting one important artist:

Boxcar Willie!

From one train driver to another - Welcome to the club, bookworm.

SteamWake · 03-01-10, 03:40 PM

Yea I knew there was some other drivers around here.

Not me, but hey congrats on getting a job !

You know, I'm perfectly positioned for being a Metro driver in D.C. I live about a mile from the end of the longest line.

I think mass transit jobs, once you have them, aren't going to go away. As long as you aren't GROSSLY incompetent, pulling a Homer Simpson or whatever.

Congrats... Ive always wanted to drive one of the freight trains here... kind of a nice feelight to have that much power to do stuff with. lol

Is it true that train-drivers have a one track mind?
