Funny how one of the most iconic country songs of all time is about a mythical train out of Indiana that made stops in northern cities like New York, Chicago and St. Louis and ventured to Minnesota, and even Canada in Hank Snow's version. True, the song also cites Birmingham, Ala. and a girl from Tennessee. As a boy, my folks let me visit a friend who had moved from Chicago to Indianapolis. I rode on a streamline of the Monon Railroad, also known as the Hoosier Line, whose trains supposedly were the inspiration for the song about the Wabash Cannonball.

@@bnj3852 Why the snarky shot? The song brought back memories good & bad.... like 10 months in Vietnam and 58 days in Cambodia, the two times I was wounded and the 16 buddies I lost. (If you'd like, I'll send you their names). Why would a real Vietnam vet even have to ask a question like that??? Curious about your MOS. Mine was 11-Delta. UPDATE... ONE MONTH LATER. "bnj" didn't respond to this, which doesn't surprise me. Trash talking another vet tells me he was in the rear some where safe and sound while the other 10% of us were in the field slugging it out with you know who. I guess he just now decided he wanted to fight.

On a good day ... when I'm feeling not so bad ... I like to pick up a Stratocaster and try to play this melody as fast as I can go. Hard to come up with new melody variations, but it's a fun 'un! This reminds me of a CMA show many years ago when country music was handed over to singers like Reba and Vince and players like Albert Lee, by the old timers, when they joined in a circle and sang, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken." Was quite a show ... Nice to see so many, old and young (THEN, young!) who have come to know Jesus, the Maker of the universe and the Savior of mankind ... if they believe and repent.

From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore, To the green old flow'ring mountains, to the ice-bound Labrador She's long and tall and handsome and known quite well to all. She's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball. So listen to the jingle, the jumble and the roar D G as she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes squall, while riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball. She came in from Birmingham on a cold and frosty day. As she rolled into the station, you could hear the people say, "There’s a gal out there form Tennessee, she’s long, boy, and tall. She's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball." So listen to the jingle, the jumble and the roar D G as she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes squall, while riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball. Now the Eastern states are dandy, so the all the people say, From New York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the way, from the lakes of Minnehaha where the laughing waters fall, No change in standard gauging on the Wabash Cannonball. G C So listen to the jingle, the jumble and the roar as she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes squall, while riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.
