1) If you digestify, please keep me on the direct mailing list. 2) The City of New Orleans was written and originally performed by the late Steve Goodman of Chicago. His performane is much better than the Arlo Guthrie version. It is interesting that Amtrak changed the name of the City of New Orleans to the Panama Limited about the time that this song was popular, and has only recently changed it back. The reason was a major derailment with a number of deaths while the train was called City of New Orleans. 3) The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe was originally sung by Judy Garland in the movie "The Harvey Girls" set around the Fred Harvey eating establishments along the AT&SF right of way.
