Description
Riding on the City Of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three Conductors; twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey - the train pulls out of Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms, and fields
Passing trains that have no name, and freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobile
Good morning, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City Of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
...

Judy Kennedy
Nice. Are those the Superstition Mountains in the background?
Micah Offman replied:
Thanks, Judy! I don't think so, it's been too long. We were traveling from TorC to Albuquerque, I can't be more precise
