The Morning Train: 2. Freight Train

"Freight Train" combines the speed of the train with nostalgic remembrance of places traveled. "There's one more place I'd like to see...to watch those Blue Ridge Mountains climb while I ride Old Number Nine." The rider, perhaps a hobo, feels the most at home when riding the train. For his final resting place, he wishes to be buried where he can hear the train rumbling by. The accompaniment (the train) is particularly lively and "mobile" in this song. Duration: 3:00.
