Long Steel Rail:





Songs of the American Railroad
Long Steel Rails: Songs of the American Railroad

The lonesome sound of a train somewhere in the distance resonates with us even in this age of supersonic transportation speeds. Since the mid 18th Century trains have symbolized romance, progress and even danger, particularly when expressed in song.

The hobo aboard an empty boxcar, the railroader's wife waiting anxiously for the return of her loved one, the fast freight high-balling across the prairie — these are songs and tales of the American railroad experience. 

Whether composed by professional song writers or just evolved from the thoughts and hopes of anonymous balladeers and sung by radio stars or families gathered around the piano, railroad songs have been a part of American life for nearly two centuries.

"All Aboard..." for an evening of enjoyable, sing-able railroad melodies with Suzanne and Jim.

“Our (passenger) surveys show that Suzanne and Jim to be among the features most enjoyed by our guests.”
