Thanks all, and keep ‘em coming! How about some early 1900’s selections? Depression era?

How's about some hobo songs, after all, hobos & trains go together:
Hobo's Lullaby by Goebel Reeves, which I heard on an Arlo Guthrie album Hobo's Meditation which I think is by Jimmie Rodgers, but I became familiar with it when it was on Trio.

Here's a few I pull out whenever someone requests a "train song":
- and yeah, CRT can be done solo with just a 12-string if you're a good crosspicker...

Would an old religious train tune work for you ?
You may also want to check out Hank Snow, he sang quite a few train songs.

Mississippi John Hurt's version of Casey Jones.
The Train Carrying Jimmy Rogers Home by Greg Brown The king of train songs IMHO: Smokestack Lightning by Howlin' Wolf -- and you can do a lot with that riff, like my version where I mix in Walt Whitman: Locomotive in Winter
