I grew up on Hank Snow....He was just the best. he did the best train songs like this one as well as sentimental emotional ballads and GREAT recitations. There will never ever be another Hank Snow.

I'm looking for the version of this song where old #9 crashes into a river--same tune as this, but the crash is where the bridge is washed out, One of the lines is "the fireman gave a scream, like a catapult it seemed old number nine went plunging out of sight" Also last verse says, "Now the Rappahonick flows 'neath the new bridge overhead, her waters hide the tragedy of yore.(Can't remember the next line) . . . old number nine will never roll no more (Repeated)" Anyone heard of this version?

I was looking to see whether there was a recording by the song writer, Carson Robison, but found this, which is an excellent performance by a great country music star, Hank Snow. Glad I found it! And I agree with the above post that "I'm Movin' On" was a milestone record.
