FYI... The reason this tune is so catchy is because it was done by William Fries, aka CW McCall, who did "Convoy". He worked with Chip Davis, who was a jingle writer at the same ad agency. Davis wrote all the orchestrations for the ad jingles and McCall's country music, then went on to found Mannheim Steamroller, and American Gramaphone Records.

There's no stopping us! Merger: I'm gonna stop you right there.

My dad worked in the Roanoke shops, brought this single home, enjoyed it, early 80 s

The 7 dislikes are from the Clinchfield Railroad

The 3 dislikes are from people who attempted to stop N&W but were runover using 1218 and 611

Thanks for the share,from a retired NW/NS machinist.

May he move the cargo in the sky. RiP C.W. McCall.

I had no idea the N&W even had a theme. I think it is a great theme, considering the fact that the N&W is one of my favorite railroads.

It arrived as a floppy record in the n&w magazine before the 1982 merger that created NS. I have a copy of it.

Got tae Hear This one when "First Minted" 😉🎸🎶🚂 - me Dad worked as an Clerk at That time at the Old "Long-House"-type Facility in Circleville, OH; he got one o' the "Appreciation" Records ! 😄😉😓😌😇 He Retired after 34 yrs. ! Yer Nae Forgotten, Da.

Norfolk & Western was the King of steam and they built, designed nearly all of their own steam locomotives that were built in their Roanoke shops. My most favorite Norfolk & Western steam locomotive is the 4-8-4 number 611 J class.

Norfolk & western 611 runs on the strasburg railroad running along with Norfolk & western 475

bro the illionis central gulf ben real quiet since this banger dropped

WHY IS THIS SO GOD DAMN CATCHY

Use to: norfolk & western there's no stopping us Nowadays: norfolk southern what's your function?

0:55 PERFECT instrumental

My grandfather, "L. T." Weeks, and my uncle Luther "Bub" Weeks, were both lifelong engineers on N&W. Grandpa retired the same year as steam. Thanks for the music.

Did this song for a friday presentation in chorus class. Everyone got up dancing.

"When it's cargo movin time, it's time to put it on the line!" "On Norfolk and Western, there's no stopping us!"

The history of this song, it was actually a cd made in the early 80s and was sent to Norfolk and western employees as a thank you after they merged to become Norfolk southern.

There was no stopping them until 1982 came along

Best song in the world. This is why it’s my second fav railroad

Yes. Love this. I've listened to it 3 times in a row already!

RIP to a great gentleman who helped out co writing Steams Camelot with the N&W and SRR locomotives. Jim Wrinn. My fondest memory was railfans days at Spencer 2004. Graham county 1925 was operating that day. I rang the bell on 1925. Also john Barnett was at the throttle. Miss those days

Everyone stop disliking this railroad you all got a problem with Norfolk and western you got problem with me Union Pacific and other railway company’s

love this song!

Norfolk and western!

"There's no stopping us!" Southern railway: * NEW * SPEEDRUN ON HOW TO STOP NORFOLK AND WESTERN (OMG WE ACTUALLY MERGED) *NOT CLICKBAIT*

This is an amazing song! Long live the N&W!

ahhh this song make's you feel like an big old y6b just came flying down the track with 22,000,000 ton's of cargo behind it this song makes you smell the smoke in the air has that giant pice of iorn flying past you

The likes were probably from retired Pennsy and N&W workers. The three dislikes were probably from NYC, Virginian, and maybe Southern railway. Or maybe Erie Lackawanna

1 dislike!? Run this man using 611

This is my favorite one. It just sounds so good

Good ending: n&w still lives on

Santa Fe: NW what's your theme song Norfolk & Western: Cargo Moving People, There's No Stopping Us *Southern Railway Has Join the Chat*

Back in the 90s 1218 and 611 helped 587 pull a very long train and for a 2-8-2 mikado that's service you can count on

WE SEEIN 8103 WITH DIS IN DA BACKGROUND 🤧🤧🤧

The lyrics are indeed accurate with N&W’s reputation in real life

Song is for Frank Collins, Jack Taylor, Bob Saxten, Scott Lindsay, and Percy Wilkins.

The Norfolk And Western Sucessor Norfolk Southern

Cool song, 😀 the lead singer sounds like Sam Elliot

I never knew Norfolk and Western went all the way to Kansas City. Well at least I heard in the song something to do with N&W going to Kansas City

I'm desperate to hear this song on Spotify.

Who else is here from Thomas and the Railtours?

My pick for favorite American railroad theme is this and sp roll on

The perfect county western song does not exist:.......

Best song for a corporation ever: change my mind

This is before Norfolk Southern!

When your brother hits you're Playstation 4 with a baseball bat So you hit him with an N&W Y6B

N&W : nothin can stop us Southern: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Ya know, the song used here strikes me as having been written by someone who doesn't really know much about the railroad industry and its vocabulary. The word "Cargo" was used in the ocean shipping and air freight industries, not for railroad traffic. On the railroads and in the trucking industry, the things hauled were (and still are) referred to as "Freight." If you wanted to know the status of business in general, you would never ask a railroader or a trucker, "How's Cargo?" You would ask him, "How's Freight?" And his answer would be, "Freight is up" or "Freight is down." Before you romp on me for being a hyper-purist, talk to your neighborhood trucker, or better yet, go read the historical documents from the ICC (Interstate Commmerce Commission,) which regulated all haulage by rail, truck, air and water. The general public is now entirely out-of-touch with everything railroad, and they only know us as the guys who block crossings. So it is only natural that the talking heads on the television screen should refer to railroads as "train companies," and to rail freight as "cargo" and make suchlike blunders. They just don't know any better... How do I know this stuff...? Well, for starters, I worked in the business for 46 years.

Norfolk and western + several other railroads = Norfolk Southern honestly they should of named them selves Norfolk and southern never understood why they didn’t put the AND in there

Keep the 611 running and don't stop

run train run

It's found in Henry and the 611.

The 8 dislikes are probably southern, Virginian, conrail, Leigh valley, chessie system, seaboard system, and two other railroads that I can’t remember

Western we not sure we’re going to get there

Cool

🚂 This is awesome

Great theme song, it kinda reminds me of the Marlboro Man theme.

I got a Norfolk And Western sing

N&W: There's no stopping us Southern: hold my beer

Five likes from Union Pacific north western railway aka sodor southern pacific Amtrak and Boone and scenic valley railroad

Nickel plate Road and n&w are cool because 765 gets help from 1218 when going up tough grades

at least NS has a N&W heritage unit so we can remember this great railroad

Dudeeee I love this

That is so cool.

Norfolk Southern killed my childhood.

Yaaa! N&W!

N&W served Chicago's commuter service too. That's why theirs the southwest service.
