I grew up in NE Portland, OR.....right next to where the main trainline passed through a natural canyon. I spent many hours watching the local steam trains huffing & puffing by from a nearby bridge as they passed underneath on three tracks. Burning coal for winter heat was the norm of the day, everyone had a five ton coalbin in their front yard, but it seems ours was mostly empty. So, my mother would send me with a small bucket, at the age of nine, walk along the tracks and gather coal that had fallen from local trains going by. Took my wife there about ten years ago to show her and trains still rolled by, but, of course, they are all diesel/electric now. Ah.....the memories! Seems sorta strange, thinking about it, but.....right now I live in Watsonville, CA, about two blocks away from the main Pacific line running from LA to Oakland, sometimes I'll awake in the night hearing a train roll by, but instead of irritating me, if find it comforting.

I've seen him a few times in VT. I love this song. It's funny to me that the video shows him starting off in TX and ending in GA. 2 of my favorite places to live.
Thank you. It was my first attempt at putting a video together. I only did it bc if my love for trains, the song and Fred. And at the time there was only a live version with way too much noise in it to hear the song.
To a rail fan (and musician) like me, this video is the bomb. As a healthy male, I have to admit the pic of the girl on the track (legs spread) waiting for her "train to come in" is pretty funny :). Thanks to Donna D for finding so many interesting pics to put in front of this lyrically cool, moody piece of music. Great vid. THANKS AGAIN!!!

I showed this to a fellow passenger on ViaRail on my way from Halifax to Toronto...I think I may have made a new “Fred-Head”!

Did anyone find this when looking for the asdfmovie meme “I like trains”?
Yea
bro i bought this on itunes when i was 11 trying to get the asdfmovie song 😭 core memory unlocked on relistening
Commenting on a very old upload but I'm curious, what is the official album that this is off of? Interested.
first track on the disc I have
drive-in movie
Asdf movie?
🙋🏽♂️Who else is here after watching war 3 😂
I like train * random trains hits ??? Body
Yes I came from here as well
Heard this on the radio yesterday and I can’t tell if this a parody of a country song or not...
Notice the guy looking not too happy sitting across from the cross dresser.
He's actually singing about trains? Pretty sure he's singing about women and liking them and their kabooses... Js
Asdf
This sucks
