Question have you ever listen to union pacific or one of the other railroads theme songs while you drove your model train?

General

the two i listen to is Great Big Rollin Railroad and The Silverton Train

Every-so-often, I will think of the Union Pacific’s ‘Great Big Rollin Railroad’ song, and then it is in my head the rest of the day. Even if I don’t want it there.

It’s too bad today’s railroad companies have a bottom line that doesn’t allow for general audience advertisements.

no kidding i wish they would come out with some newer jingles again

the G-scale was a resale shop purchase alot of track more then enough to make a good size oval all metal LGB the steam engine(not working broken) flat car with carrages and animals passenger car all for emmets circus and a stock car. and a transformer with the track connector for 25$ because thats what he had in it and the guy didnt want to deal with it anymore

ironically enough i bought from him those g scale cheap remote control steamers before with 3 cars and track so i just use that one until i get the SD70 in and the ground drys up

I’m more likely to be listening to Linda Ronstadt, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joel, Hank Jr, etc.

Unlike many on the forum, I’m a TV-aholic. When I got my first apartment and job, unmarried, my TV kept me company at night. It was like having someone else in the room with me.

That has continued. The TV in my layout room is always on, usually to old Perry Mason or Matlock reruns – mindless background noise while I work.

I have a playlist of over an hour of train-related music. Some of my absolute favorites are:
‘500 Miles’ - Peter Paul & Mary
‘City of New Orleans’ - Arlo Guthrie
‘Canadian Railroad trilogy’ - Gordon Lightfoot
‘Locomotive Breath’ - Jethro Tull
‘A Man and a Train’ - Marty Robbins
‘Coal Smoke, Valve Oil and Steam’ - Johnny Horton

Great song, espcially from the “Longs” CD.

I’ve got some of those too–the City of New Orleans is probably my favorite!

The original, or any cover, of ‘K-4 Pacific’ by Gerry Mulligan. (We’ll forgive him the hyphen’…)

The whole album ‘Age of Steam’ is a classic of its era. It is the first LP I bought with my own money…
