Really excellent quality production. I love the French-Canadian Engineer with his scarf! Guys in suits and ties and hats, out taking moving pictures of trains! Smoking cigarettes! Steel! Smoke! Cooking bacon and eggs on the shovel! The bonus is that the music was by Pete Seeger and Sonny Terry!
THE WHITE LIGHT
Oft when I feel my engine swerve As o er strange rails I fare
I strain my eye around the curve For what awaits me there
When swift and free she carries Through yards unknown at night
I look along the line to see That all the lamps are white
The blue light means a crippled car The green light signals slow
The red light is the danger light The white light let her go
Again in open fields I roam And when the night is fair
I look up to the starry dome For what awaits me there
Swift toward life's terminal I The run seems short tonight
God only knows what's at the end I hope the lamps are white
