Subject: Origin: One Hundred Miles
I know "One Hundred Miles" or "A Hundred Miles" by Flatt and Scruggs is a member of the "Train 45," "Ruben's Train" Family. The "Hear the whistle blow a hundred miles" is a common theme.

Are the songs 500 miles, 900 miles and 100 miles versions of the same song? How do they relate to the "Train 45" "Ruben's Train" Family?

Any versions not in the DT? Does anyone have the Flatt and Scruggs lyrics?
