I do not think that this is the song you are looking for, but in my files I found this song called "THE EVANSTON EXPRESS". Words are by a fellow named Bob Conway.(1978) It is to be sung to the tune of "THE WABASH CANNONBALL".

The Englewood-Howard line, with the extended line north into Evanston, Illinois was the quickest way to and from the Chicago Loop in the 1970s. ("The Loop" is the name for the central area of downtown Chicago.) At rush hour the Evanston Express made the trip without local stops. Evanston, Illinois is the first suburb NORTH of Chicago along the Lake Michigan North shore. (The last chorus refers to the fact that through the in-train P.A. system you could rarely understand which stop was being called.)

THE EVANSTON EXPRESS
by Bob Conway

The old North Shore is dandy, so the people up there say,
From Highland Park to Wilmette, Winnetka along the way,
When she pulls into the station, you'll really be impressed,
By the modern combination called the Evanston Express.

O listen to the rattle, the clatter and the roar,
Crowded, cold, uncomfortable, who could ask for more,
When and if she gets downtown is anybody's guess,
My God, it's such a thrill to ride the Evanston Express.

There's a girl who rides to Rogers Park to work at Cindy Sue's,
A man who runs a banking house, and some folks who sing the blues,
The good folks who will ride with you are all the very best,
They don't pick up Chicagoans on the Evanston Express.

When she pulled out of Evanston one cold December day,
'Bout halfway down to Howard Street you could hear the conductor say,
She's no shining bolt of lightning, son, I really must confess,
Take it or leave it! It's the Evanston Express.

So here's to Milt Pikarsky, may his name forever shine,
And always be remembered on the Englewood-Howard line,
When his eartly race is over and he takes his final test,
He'll ride for all eternity on the Evanston Express.

And listen to the rattle, the clatter and the roar,
Crowded, cold, uncomfortable, who could ask for more?
Last time they cleaned this train is anybody's guess,
And the next stop in "MXPLZ" on the Evanston Express.
