Johnny Cash – “Wabash Cannonball”

I’ve always loved steam locomotives. The massive plumes of smoke flying out of the top of the steel giants, the piston rods working in unison, almost like an orchestra, the screech of the whistle, seeing hundreds of cars lined up behind them, watching them fly by at the speed of sound, it always makes me happy knowing that I share that love of these towering giants with thousands of other people around the globe. Songs like these remind me of times where these steaming beasts ruled the rails.
