Boxcar Willie is legendary. He kept those traditional songs rolling down the rails blowing those horns all the way. I remember asking Sant for Best Of Boxcar album and was ecstatic that Christmas morning as I seen it under the tree. Whether it be Jimmy Rodgers, Roy Acuff., Johnny cash, Newbury, Wayne the Train" Habcock, Boxcar played them all on stage in Branson. Godspeed Box!

He us a great man. He loved his fans as much as we loved him. I sure miss him. God bless.

Boxcar Willie was a very special man. My late mother in law and my ex-husband got to know him when he was a performer at The Grapevine Opry in Grapevine, TX that was run by Chisai Childs. My mother in law was one of the back up singers there. My ex and I were on our way back from a trip to South Dakota and we decide to stop in Branson with the hope of visiting him. Sadly Boxcar passed away the evening before we arrived. Since we were stuck there for a week we stood on the balconey outside our room and watched as the procession passed by on it's way to his final resting place. It was very touching and moving.
