This is posted as a video response to the railroading reminiscences of Kentucky Colonel Richard Hunter, alias MadBadVoodo. Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten is perhaps the most archetypal of all railroading songs. This song goes very deep for me. Never mind my singing, as Martin Carthy the doyen of British folk music archivists says 'the worst thing you can do to a folk song is not sing it.'

PS the best cover version is by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee
