Great Song. I have the album Train Songs...or Songs About Trains...something like that. My fav from that album is a song called Streamline Cannonball. Anybody know where I can find it on You Tube.
I grew up in Kentucky and I can't believe I've never heard this song before. I looked up the lyrics and it's got to be one of the coolest train songs ever! (Of course, Jim & Jesse could sing "Happy Birthday" and make it sound cool!)
First saw them on their old TV show in late 60's. Then 1st live show in '70 at a mobile home outlet in Houston on a flat bed trailer with Vic Jordan on banjo. Geez I wish I would have recorded that.

Their vocal harmonies swirl above and beyond any bluegrass ever, but their instrumental foundation makes it all work even better.

@bth2458 I hope we can still here that old time bluegrass music. I hope they don't try changing it like they did country music.

Love this song. I had the LP of Jim & Jessie's "I Like Trains". There was a great song on it called "The Streamline Cannonball" Wish I could find it.
