Ian,

clever little tune! I like the fact that you also post the lyrics with your songs.. it adds something to the experience of listening to your compositions.

I grew up in a railroad town... both of my grandfathers and my dad worked for the Pennsylvania railroad... at various times I worked for the Penn Central and later in Conrail's heavy repair locomotive shops... so your choice of topic has particular significance to me. Plus, you picked a good style for that type of song, and your delivery was a good match too for a folky depression era rail tune.

I am curious to know where the line "there ain't no future in it" came from. The whole time I worked for the railroad, I believed it was going to shut down at any moment... so I quit in search of something that offered more security. Ironically, the place is still there, and for those who stayed there was a future in it.

Anyway, nice song! I look forward to hearing your next one too!
