Grab a rock, have a seat, and talk about the real world of trains.

Here are some CD's offered by the C&O Historical Society:
http://www.chessieshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31&products_id=2521; CD: Song of the Alleghany Rails, from $10.00 now $4.99
This is a compilation of contemporary railroad folk songs by local artists.

Commercial recording available elsewhere also probably:
http://www.chessieshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31&products_id=2282; CD: All Aboard The Blue Train by Johnny Cash, $16.98

http://www.chessieshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31&products_id=2280; DVD: Johnny Cash: Ridin the Rails The Great American Train Story, $19.98

Plus some children's music with a railroad theme.

I am really not into US country/folk/gospel music or Southern rock so I can offer no advice here as what to buy and what to avoid. Besides, musical taste in highly personal.

I bought some books, maps and such from the Chessieshop and can testify they are reliable and swift in fulfilling your order.

Don't forget Oscar Peterson's classic jazz album "Night Train", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Train_%28album%29 and http://www.amazon.com/Night-Train-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B0000047D4

That is a rather blurry SP Black Widow F-unit on the cover, right?
