Great article in the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/billy-braggs-railroad-songs

Love this quote:

“It would be understandable if the American railroad didn’t work anymore, and if no one were interested in it, and if they only ran these trains for enthusiasts,” Bragg said. “But the fact is that the United States puts more freight on rail than any industrialized country. Your railroad works. It’s a really good way of distributing things. But you don’t conceive of it anymore as being a good way to distribute people, and that’s a disconnect that, for a European, is very strange.”
