Subject: RE: Songs About the Disappearing of the Trains
Nanci Griffith wrote one called "Ghost In The Music" on her album "Once In a Very Blue Moon":

Down at the station the tracks are cold
The wheels of thunder they roll no more
And the heart of America cries for the soul
Who won't be rolling home
And the dragon weeps with empty eye
The whistle sighs no more in the night
It rests in the lines like a ghost in the music
The soul of America's pride...
