This a video of that famous tune about a famous train "The City of New Oleans".
The song "The City of New Orleans" was written by Steve Goodman to honor the train "City of New Orleans" but mostly to honor railroading in general and make a statement about railroads and rails fading from our culture. The story goes that Steve Goodman was riding on the "City of New Orleans" and penned this famous tune on a napkin. He later showed the napkin with song to Arlo Guthrie while the two were drinking in a bar, the rest is history.
This video is to honor Steve for one great song and to showcase all the singers that made it famous. Edited with many different singers and edited to follow the song. On for a limited time only.
