"There's No Stopping Us" (more commonly known nowadays as Cargo Movin' People) was a song produced by the J. Walter Thompson Company in 1980 for the N&W as part of there "There's No Stopping Us" advertising campaign. It was originally available to N&W Employees in the form of a Eva-Tone Soundsheet & distributed via the July 1980 Issue of The Norfolk & Western Employee magazine. Following the merger, the song was used in Marc S. Balkin's Rail's To Roanoke show, produced in 1987 (documenting that year's NRHS Convention, held in Roanoke, Virginia with N&W 611 & 1218). This recording, sourced from an original Eva-Tone Soundsheet is the best quality version now available to my knowledge.

Finally the question of who recorded this is answered. It definitely wasn’t C.W. McCall like everyone debated it was Edit: I just watched a documentary about the D&S and guess who narrated it and made music for it. Yep, it was C.W. McCall. I think the agency that recorded the song brought McCall into the studio to do the song. There is likely no one alive who knows who really made the song as McCall passed away and most employees and executives of the N&W are now no longer with us.

It's 100% not CW McCall. I have the company magazine where they talk about making this song, and it does not mention CW.

Glad to see this is finally out there! I tracked down a copy a couple years ago and got it digitized with restoration by a friend of mine. Just never got around to uploading it, I probably will eventually just for the restorations sake. I am mostly glad that after all these years of misinformation about the songs title, and even people saying as if it were fact that CW McCall recorded this, that the true information is finally known. However, the shorter versions of the songs that were recorded for radio ads are still at large. Hmmm……

It isn’t actually. I was thinking this too but it was whatever ad agency from Norfolk that’s on the record Edit: after watching a whole D&S documentary narrated by the man the myth the legend, C.W. McCall, I can now say that I truly think he was brought into the ad agency to do the song. Especially after listening to his song Silverton which is very similar
