"Last Train Running" By Ally Piermarini

same song I used a long time ago for my tribute to steam locomotive but a better quality recording. This song tells the story of the passing of the steam age on American railroads.

Quincy Railroad #2
Granite Rock Co. #10
Southern Pacific 2472
Robert Dollar Co. #3
Deerlake Park & Julian #3 "Marie E."
Pacific Coast #3
Southern Pacific 5623
Disneyland Railroad #1

Notable filming locations: The Niles Canyon Railway(Fremont Ca) The Pacific Coast Railroad (San Luis Obispo Ca) The Disneyland Railroad(Anaheim Ca.)

LAST TRAIN RUNNING

REMEMBER BACK WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE'D COME HERE EVERY DAY
WE'D WATCH THOSE TRAINS GO BY AND DREAM OF PLACES FAR AWAY
SOMETIMES WE WOULD SIT FOR HOURS, LOST INSIDE THAT DREAM
UNTIL WE HEARD THOSE ENGINES COMIN' BELCHIN' SMOKE AND STEAM

BUT THEN ONE DAY MAMA HEARD DOWN AT THE STORE
SHE SAID PRETTY SOON THE STEAM TRAINS WON'T COME BY HERE ANYMORE,
IF YOU WANNA SEE, YOU'D BETTER RUN, SHE CALLED OUT FROM THE DOOR

CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOW
CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GO
CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU SEE
CAUSE THE TRAIN THAT LEAVES TODAY WILL BE TOMORROW'S HISTORY

REMEMBER WHEN WE REACHED THE STATION, RUNNING HAND IN HAND
THE PLATFORM WAS SO CROWDED, THERE WAS BARELY ROOM TO STAND
BUT THE CAPTAIN SAW US SMILIN' WAVIN', LIKE WE'D ALWAYS DONE
HE SAID YOU TWO WILL RIDE WITH ME, 'CAUSE THIS IS MY LAST RUN

AND THEN DARLIN', WE WERE RIDIN' HIGH AND PROUD
THE CAPTAIN TOLD ME, BLOW THAT WHISTLE, BLOW IT LONG AND LOUD
AND EVEN THROUGH THE NOISE I HEARD YOU CALLIN' TO THE CROWD

CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOW
CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO GO
AND THAT LAST TRAIN RUNNING, FOR US IS RUNNING STILL
'CAUSE IT RUNS WITHIN OUR HEARTS AND THERE WE KNOW IT ALWAYS WILL

CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOW
IT'S THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO GO
CATCH THE LAST TRAIN RUNNING, 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO
IF THIS TRAIN'S BOUND FOR GLORY, LORD, I PRAY IT TAKES US TOO.
