Boxcar willie was a star,, his singing with the angels in heaven now.

Born in the 50's, love all these old gospel songs! They were sang in Church when I was a kid! Loved when I grew up!

Let Willy's voice praise our Heavenly Father and Jesus forever and always! God rest your Soul brother!

Did you notice that all of these people had a smile on their face while singing? May God Bless all of the country music singers!

All the old legends are gone hank William's johnny cash boxcar Charlie pride don William's merle haggard...in the words of george jones who's gonna fill there shoes😥

My grandfather used to sit and sing this song often in the evenings...he died a few years before I was born....1965...would have been nice to sing it with him.

I feel sorry for those that are not inspired by such heavenly music.

Daddy I miss you more than you will ever know. My life will never be the same without you. This world is one lonely place without you. Know you will never be forgotten. You were not only my Dad but my best friend. Love always Barbara.

Barbara, a lot of us miss your Dad. I grew up next to the tracks and saw the end of steam on the Wabash RR. It is rare that I can get through one of your Dad's train songs without tearing up. Railway to Heaven is my favorite.

I have only just discovered Boxcar, and I am so glad I did, this song is so moving and spiritual. He sings it effortlessly even though he is not that well. Such a natural country singing voice and so down to earth. God bless you Box and rest in peace.

So much talent.

Box Car was great. Loved his twang in song and style. Only realised he was gone. Sleep good I still hear that train a coming even in Clare Ireland.

Beautiful

Singing in spirit, he is in heaven truly. God bless

Pure and proper country, i forgot just how good he sounds, just great.

Me gusta muchísimo,porque,el autor vuelca su corazón en la letra,porque lo siente de verdad,y esa autenticidad me gusta y me conmueve ademas de compartir el amor de DIOS y gusto por los ferrocarriles del siglo 19 y las locomotoras a vapor

I LOVE THIS SONG ITS TELLING WHAT YOU MUST DO WHEN YOU LIVE FOR JESUS ITS ALL WORTH WHAT YOU GO THRU

He was great!

Great voice no nonsense artist

I feel sad that for some reason even though I was a huge country western fan I never realized just how great Box Car was until his last few years. That was my fault now I am scrambling to listen to as much as I can of this great man and artist. God Bless Him!!

this man was a genuine down to earth guy and a true artist God Bless you Box RIP

What a peaceful and meanningful song. A Beautiful song! Thanks for sharing.

Barbara , sorry people thought you meant he was your Dad. My dad used to play this song all the time. I hadn't heard it in years and it popped into my head. I pulled this up to hear it and your comment was the first I saw. I knew exactly what you meant and felt the same way. God Bless.

god bless box car.surrounded by legends

I think everyone in that room that nyt knew poor box car was not gonna make it much longer sadly .but what a great sing song he had top class voice and performance till the end

Boxcar Willie one of the best rip my friend I always think of you when I see a train

This is a favorite song he does a super job on it. It is sad to look around that room and see all the ones that are no longer with us. Boxcar Willie, Skeeter Davis, Billy Walker, Charlie Walker, Del Reeves, Goldie Hill, and Bill Carlise

Very good song❤

Absolute LEGEND 👍🏻🤠♥️

Fijne gevoelige songs♥️

Obviously, Boxcar Willie already knows his diagnosis at this time. He may not have had the fame of country stars like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash & Roy Clark. But make no mistake -- Boxcar Willie had a voice that was legendary country, was always an excellent performer, a great singer, a true traditionalist, and a wonderful man. His version of "Danny Boy," is stunning. I always considered him the missing link between Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash. I listen to all 3 seamlessly. Boxcar Willie was far better than many ever gave him credit for. Through his career, he should've performed, sang & recorded with many big-time country singers. But he seldom did (to my knowledge). He was great on stage with Charlie Daniels and Roy Acuff and the audience went crazy. Willie Nelson, at Farm Aid, was a little withdrawn on stage singing with Boxcar Willie. Intimidation? Nelson has wonderful character in his voice -- but in reality, Boxcar had the superior vocal. I never knew Boxcar Willie -- but, I miss him. Watching all these country artists sit around him as he sang "Railway to Heaven," was beautiful.

agree- an excellent performer, may he rest in Peace. Not many of the great ones left-Maybe Loretta Lyn, Charlie Pride and a few others.. They have all crossed the river we are all waiting for. In the last 30 years with the exception of George Strait and Emmy Lou Harris, Alan Jackson, Vine Gill and Garth Brooks, haven't been a whole lot of country entertainers that appeal to me.-I may have misewd mentioning 3 or 4 others.Greetings from Newfoundland, Canada

alot of Folks don't know he was Veteran ,,Ole Box will live in Eternity ,,He was Great man ,Scene him twice in Branson

Saw him live with my father many many years ago.its such a great memory I get to keep forever!!!!

There's some great old men in that room.

Loved him

Glory to God this Man is playing for his friends and the angels

Good clean country. Not like garbage of today.

No one can do this like Box.

What a nice human being.....absolutely a heart of gold....nobody could do what he did....undoubtedly God given talent....still have KZread for clips of the old days....

I saw boxcar willie in person with my mom and dad in middle of1980s at Centerville michigan fairgrounds cause mom and dad liked him .

Boxcar had a good voice...R.I.P. Box
