Maybe the "ultimate" train song. Written by the late Steve Goodman. Steve
died young (Leukemia) and besides City of New Orleans is best known for writing the country western song (and bar sing-a-long) "You Never Even Called Me By Name". Trains were not his first love, that went to baseball and his
beloved Chicago Cubs. Shortly before his death, he wrote and performed his own "eulogy" - A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request at Wrigley Field |
