Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms & fields
Passin' graves that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we'll be there by mornin'
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
"The passengers will please refrain,
This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

Another Steve Goodman (City of New Orleans writer) classic that is multi-themed with trains thrown in as an afterthought:

I did not yet follow any of the building links...basic question...seems obvious...can each file be SCALED?

Buildings are OO gauge, 1/76 scale. I think that they are suitable for HO gauge, 1/87 scale.

Good collection photo

Z Gauge set under glass - landscape portrayed within the frame of a modified coffee table pretty kewol.

I likie that is just too cool , No dust !

Another web site for free cardboard buildings of American countryside:

All model railway set need at least one Cox container

Could do a scene by a ball field with a handful of kids hanging out flying
Cox CL planes with a PT-19 up in the air. Thin K&S wire to suspend the
lines / plane in the air. Nearby a round the pole race track, magnet moved
wood carved car rolling at a scale speed.

I have been drawing Cox freight containers, will upload after trying cut & glue. I used krafttrains.com pdf file for base drawings, and weathered a little more, hope that they don't mind it.

Trains certainly have been a great inspiration to American music. Big country, lots of faraway places to go, and lots of lonely railroads to take you there.

Remember the ”Rackety ol’ 97”
