Just for laughs

am i showing my age?

Naw, but I am. What's the train connection in that Dylan song? (Jimi's version is a cover)
My favourite by Dylan, as far as trains, anyway, is "It takes a lot to laugh it takes a train to cry"
A few others:
"Love in Vain" - Rolling Stones
"White Room" - Cream
"Born on the Bayou" - "Midnight Special" - CCR
"Memphis Blues" - Dylan
"Tuxedo Junction" - Glen Miller
"Take the 'A' Train" - Count Basie
"Canadian Railroad Trilogy" - Gordon Lightfoot
"Locomotive Breath" - Jethro Tull
"Kiss Her Goodbye" - Steam (the song has nothin' to do with trains, but ya gotta love the band's name.:thumb:
