One of the best railroad songs ever written. Brings a tear to my eyes. I lived it as a freight conductor on the Santa Fe and BNSF. I hired out August 18, 1979 and retired September 30, 2019 with a little over 40 years of service. I saw a lot of changes in that 40 years.

This piece is an anthem, not just a song and not just a performance, wonderful as they both are. There is nothing comperable. I am 85 years old and highly educatef snd i am fighting back tears as i write.

Arlo Guthrie singing a Steve Goodman song with Pete Seeger on the stage! It doesn't get any better than that!

I wish they still made music like this. I am lucky to have grown up listening in an era of the best music ever recorded. God bless, all of you who enjoy this piece.

My Dad was a railroader and loved this song, he like Arlo's version the best and bought a .45 record of it so he could play it any time he wanted. He died in 1973 not long after this was released. He was still working and never got to retire, pneumonia took him in a few days. So every time I heard this song I think of him and my eyes fill up with tears. Mom was from a RR family too so I grew riding and loving trains.

I’ve always loved this song. It tells a story and you feel like your riding on the train and things are so peaceful and you have no cares. I usually listen to it late at night and just imagine the peaceful clacking of the wheels on the track.

My dad rode the rails during the Great Depression. As a child he regaled me with tales of how to hop a boxcar, how he ate and survived on the road, his encounters with the Wobblies (Workers of the World), etc. This song always makes me think of him. May he R.I.P.

My great grandfather ,who was born in 1864, was an engineer for the Rock Island Lines and was the first 50 year member in the country of the Railroad Engineers. Union.This song always makes me think of him.I was six years old when he died.

This song by Steve Goodman, made perfect by Arlo Guthrie is fantastic. The imagery with Pete Segger playing background. This song is frankly perfect and in my opinion defines American folk songs. My prayer is all the young, "Swiftys" will somehow discover great music like this. Thankyou Steve Goldman and Arlo Guthrie. This is an American treasure.

This song sounded great when first recorded. Sounds great today. I predict it will sound good in 500 years. Yes a very rich period of fantastic music. We were blessed.

I ride the magic carpets made of steel everyday as a railroader. This song runs through my head, especially passing through towns late at night

When this song met Arlo's voice, it made history. One of the best songs of the century.

In 1962 my best friend and I rode the City of New Orleans from Memphis to the Big Easy to celebrate high school graduation & rode the Panama Limited back to Memphis. This song brings back fond memories.

As a former railroader who handed train orders up to the modern day City Of New Orleans, this song holds a special place in my heart and memories.
The City would fly by me standing 6’ away from it, and blow dust in my happy face! ❤️

Back when you needed talent to be a success in the music business.
