LYRICS: We’re a great big rollin railroad, one that everybody knows, we were born of gold and silver spikes, a hundred years ago, were a million miles of history, shining in the sun, We’re the Union Pacific, and our story’s just begun. From the Great Plains of Nebraska, to the California seas, from the summits of the Rockies to the mighty redwood trees. We’re a thousand wheels of freight train, hear the Diesel engines power, were the Union Pacific, doin’ 90 miles an hour! (Music) Bound from Omaha to Portland, through Cheyenne, and Laramie, were heading west for Boise, on the mainline to the sea, cross the flats in Salt Lake City, onto Vegas and LA. We’re the Union Pacific, and we’ve got the right of way! From the green fields of the prairies, to the blue pacific shore, we’ll deliver your freight, cargo, and come rollin’ home for more! On the backbone of our nation, you can see us make the climb, we’re the Union Pacific, and we’re gonna be on time! From the green fields of the prairies, to the blue pacific shore, we deliver your freight, cargo, and come rollin’ home for more! On the backbone of our nation, you can see us make the climb, We’re the Union Pacific, and we’re gonna be on timeeeeeee!! 🇺🇸 Your welcome :)
I can play music by ear and am thrilled to be able to play this the first time I've heard it! And I've since been replaying it for the last 45 minutes, oops 😅 To be fair it's super catchy and fun to sing or clap along to as well and I'm sure I'll be humming the tune while I do a few house chores later too 😂
As a railroad enthusiast, I do watch many videos on youtube, gladly surprised about many shots from Rochelle (Il) in this one. I did have visited The USA many, many, times for business, generally within the Chicago area. and spend many hours between holidays and weekends that had to be on business in Downtown Chicago, but left, "not without some regret", the beautifully Windy City, which I love with all my heart, and drove my occasionally rental car those 64 miles forwarding Rochelle. Direct to the AmericInn or Super 8, then reserved a room, didn't even leave my suitcases, and went to the Food Market (Sullivan maybe?) over Il-38 to buy Colleslow some Spinach bags and a large Gingerale, from there to the HotSpot (Rochelle Railroad Park), regardless of the time or the weather, cold, warm, snow, In the rain, I would sit at the first bench of the gazebo facing the intersection and took vids and photos as possible. That was more than 20 years ago, now I am 67 and retired, I miss those days of joyous satisfaction watching the "Large Consist and noisy steel crossing track" of those Union Pacific or BN&SF. Trains, I will miss you, Rochelle ................. Bay the way, this song I have a recorder in many different ways along the years, including different Lyrics Thank you for posting.
I bet if they had a passenger service, it would beat amtrak since they wouldn't have to be slow as shit. Waiting on freight trains all the time. That's why I don't ride amtrak anymore its too damn slow. And accommodation is mid. I would definently ride up, kcs, bnsf etc if they ran passenger. And I'm sure others would since the airliner craze is over. You could ride in much better luxury in a class 1 passenger service than a airliner or amtrak I'm sure
They still have passenger service, however operated using Metra rolling stock. Also they gave the other passenger services to Amtrak and the freight companies make it hard for Amtrak to make a profit

Nice 👍
The Union Pacific Railroad has been in business and running since 1862 when if laid it’s first rails and went West. That’s over 160 years.
I keep hearing backhole instead of backbone 😂
@@Extremelybadpiggies I thought it was on back of 😅
the lyrics are great to
help you to sing along with the song, Thanks!
0:03 very rare footage of the Union pacific caboose and a visible person inside of it.
IRM
theres a UP Caboose at fullerton station in Fullerton California in a railway museum right next to the BNSF mainline
@@burgerking3392 Not active. Only for presentation.
@@AVeryRandomPerson I know, it’s like a museum
If you zoom in you could see a person in the caboose
Nice to see 844 still chugging along ;)

Why does this sound like the perfect voice, beat, and tempo for a Christmas song just with different lyrics?
This sounds like its from a Rakin Bass Special Picture the puppets dancing while the model train move
Love that shot of the 844 at 0:57 also i have never been to Wyoming but i came close when driving to California

Some of these videos where shot a Illinois railway museum recognize the the depot tracks and the up beldiver subdivision
1:24 is meant to sound like "We deliver your great cargo,"
But it sounds like "We deliver your recarnel,"
lmao
Freight*
@@lobstercortex Actually, it's "great" not "freight."
I love the Union Pacific Railroad.
Me too
Me too by the way that's my old RUclips account
I've heard this song about a million times and will never get old of it
It's very folksy. Woody Guthrie type.

Once in Kentucky there was a coal train with all UP power. Yes, all six units!
Bruhhh no way UP can make a song go this hard
0:02 oh wow an standart Cab Dash-8
I don’t even railfan up and I love this
My listens to this song all the time and now I can’t stop listening to it
WOAH WOAH WOAH!! That is a Norfolk Southern New York Central Heritage Unit at 0:49
Jackboy317 huh didnt even notice
dead dank memes hey my fellow gopnik
Its NOT a ns
RECORD_TV THUG LIFE INTERNACIONAL yes it is. Norfolk Southern has 20 heritage units and the New York Central #1066 is one of them.
Didn't expect to see you here.
The clip with the 2 engines rolling together is cool. PS: Union pacific should have a passenger service
Well, they do
I bet if they had a passenger service, it would beat amtrak since they wouldn't have to be slow as shit. Waiting on freight trains all the time. That's why I don't ride amtrak anymore its too damn slow. And accommodation is mid. I would definently ride up, kcs, bnsf etc if they ran passenger.

They still have passenger service, however operated using Metra rolling stock.
Also they gave the other passenger services to Amtrak and the freight companies make it hard for Amtrak to make a profit
@@fiberrabit8229if the freight companies still held to their passenger service, there wouldn’t have been the need for Amtrak.
Great song. I love Union Pacific.
Same here
Me too
Jeez, What happened to that ES44AC's Flag at 0:30?
My Whittle Shortline Trains graffiti...
People these days
Graffiti ☹

Can i tell hoy What i dad that was WIERD was an ES44AC that it was showing its motor
0:33 that Is a freaking weird container! I'm talking about the one on the first car on the top
Michael Bobb streamlining is evolving..
Its their attempt at the train streamlined

Michael Bobb true
I thought it was damaged or something
0:40 IS THAT ENGINENUMBER CURSED?? ENGINE LOCO NUMBERS DONT HAVE LETTERS IN THEM
No it’s supposed to have it
It needs to have it it suppose to have it
This ad was on TV during the late 1970s. I remember it, but liked the other one too with different people singing.
There is almost always a AC4400 or a ES44AC in each shot.
And an SD70ACe
GEVO locomotives and ACEs are the most common locomotives on the rails today.
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 Yep
Or 844

Great Big Rollin Railroad written by CW McCall. He did other train songs also. The Silverton and Galloping Goose.
Did not know that - thx
Don't forget cargo moving people
C. W. McCall was actually named Bill Fries. The hit he's really known for is the 1970s trucking ballad, "Convoy." He left us in 1922.
ive watched this video over 1,000 times but it never gets old
