Daddy, What's A Train

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

This song perfectly describes the decline of rail travel between the 1960s-80s, when many lines were abandoned, companies were merged into others, and some completely vanishing, passenger trains stopped running, and air travel and cars became the main mode of transportation.

i mean i doubt utah was talking much about passenger trains he was a freighthopper

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

@@comically_large_cowboy_hat3385 passenger trains are mentioned in this, it's definitely supposed to be about them to a degree.

[@superbdude6656]

This actually made me cry for some reason i guess it’s just bc I’m the only kid who loves trains in my school and some people don’t even know what a train is

Same boat. Though we have a tourist railroad running through to the beach. My town is more of a beach town.

I live in west virginia and don't really have any friends who have a passion for old things. If you want to see some engines you may not have known about. Im posting vids on my channel of the Allegheny sidewinders and the durbin rocket. Im 16 and no other kids i know have an interest in this stuff.

I’m 14 and my mum is trying to find me a friends that like trains at the same age as me but pretty much everyone who like trains and much older than I am and not ONE person in like 40 miles and I feel so depressed bc even when my mum dose find a friend for me they don’t even have the amount of knowledge that I have trains once a time when I was younger I was friends with almost every person in my grade but over time every one drifted of and did there own thing and even the friends my best friends drifted of to I have even thought about suicide and this song just makes me cry about how times were once and I wonder if I could ever be there to see them in action and just makes me feel like I don’t know what to do in my life I’ve always been shy and I’m not much of a talker but it came to the point where I can’t even talk to my own cousins and this song just makes me remember all this
