Thread Name: North American Locomotive-industry songs
Subject: RE: North American Locomotive-industry songs
I doubt very much if you'll find any songs from heavy engineering factory community environs at all. Steel, Cars, Locomotives, Ships, Motorbikes - anything of that nature - really don't have the cultures to encourage such things at all. Certainly none of the men who worked in steam locomotive works whom I have known have ever talked about such things, They were indeed musicians, but tended towards classical music and brass band traditions - probably to get away from their working environments.
