My dorm is on a hill where there are train tracks further down below and every morning I hear the train whistle. Once woke up minutes before my alarm to the sound of a whistle at 4:24 am. Great way to wake up, it takes me back in time to an era I've never lived in.

Growing up in the mid fifties, living in a small Kansas town, I witnessed the demise of the steam engine. I was fortunate to ride a Santa Fe passenger train pulled by a steam locomotive for about 100 miles to Kansas City. In those days the rails were short, and when the trains wheels crossed each joint, they made a clickety clack sound that was very audible for quite a distance. The greatest sound though, was the lonely sound of a steam whistle from a distant train late at night. I also loved the sounds that the engine made, especially when they started moving. The diesel/electric engine is a far superior engine, but i'll always remember the old steam engine fondly.

When I worked as a conductor I had a crossing a couple of blocks from home. That whistle woke me up and I was bouncing off the walls in panic. As a railroader hearing a whistle when it’s not expected can be a very bad thing. I am now a composite mechanic and operations is a distant memory. I now can sleep right through any whistle no matter how close. It just isn’t my problem anymore.

Der Hobo, ich glaube Jimmie Rodgers und dann viele Jahre später Boxcar Willie haben dieses spezielle Genre mehr als andere in ihren Liedern beschrieben...und das Boxcar Anfang der 80er sogar in Europa so einen großen Erfolg hatte...das gibt es nicht wieder, dazu haben sich die Zeiten zu sehr geändert.....RIDE THIS TRAIN.....LG RALF
