GUEST,henryp Any September Songs? (284* d) RE: Any September Songs? 01 Sep 23


1st September On this day in 1859, Pullman (sleeping cars) carriages were introduced, on the Bloomington to Chicago line.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS written by Steve Goodman , and first recorded for his self-titled 1971 album, describing an overnight train ride from Chicago to New Orleans on the Illinois Central Railroad.

The sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
All ride their Daddy's magic carpet, it's made of steam
Mothers with their babes asleep go rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream
