Safe Christmas

I'm dreaming of a safe Christmas
Just like the ones I always know
Where the trees are trimmed back
And brush has been hacked
And maintenance parks the big backhoe  

I'm planning on a safe Christmas
With every email that I write
May unloading and billing be right
And the customers always be a delight

I'm forecasting of a safe Christmas  
Where the guys wear spikes o’er toes
The railcars roll freely
The product isn’t mealy
And switches aren’t buried in the snow

I'm dreaming of a safe Christmas
With a moving train in sight
May you awe at the flashing signal light
And may all your Christmases be white

 

Railing Wonderland

Train bells ring, are you listening,
On the rails, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Working in a railing wonderland.

Gone away is the blue flag,
Here to stay is a new tag
We sing a fun song,
As we pull along,
Working in a railing wonderland. 

In the rail yard we can see a trackman,
As he checks the rails upon the ground
Back at home, Newberry
He'll make his plans,
And then he’ll check the switch
When he’s in town.

Later on, he’ll inquire,
All before, he retires
To face unafraid,
So no car’s delayed,
Working in a railing wonderland.

 

North Shore Trains

Dashing through the snow, with a 1500-horse
O'er the rails we go, pushing all this force
Bells through crossings ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a railroad song tonight. Oh!

North Shore trains, North Shore trains, choo choo all the way!
Oh what fun it is to watch
When they’re pulling all that freight, hey!

North Shore trains, North Shore trains, choo choo all the way!
Oh what fun it is to watch
When they’re pulling all that freight

Dashing through the snow, on a big ole diesel train
O'er the hills we go, pulling lots of freight
Bells through crossings ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a railroad song tonight. Oh!

 

I Saw Trees Kissing Chain Saws

I saw trees kissing chain saws
Overhead the railroad bed last week
They didn't hear the beep
Up the line where they did sweep
I thought that they were overgrown
And now their branches heap

 

Radio Radio Radio

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the crew is so delightful
And since they have moves to go
Radio, radio, radio

When we customer is in sight
How they’ll hate going out in the storm
But as soon as they’re on the site
They always safely perform

 

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Business

It's beginning to look a lot like business
Ev'rywhere we go
Take a look at the signal men
Inspecting signals again
Making sure the crossings all aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like business
Economics to explore
But the magic upon your ear
Is the engine that you’ll hear
Past your own front door

 

Last Shipment

Last shipment, I gave you my bill
The very next day, you took it away
This time, I want the same prime
I'll hold you to your high-level

 

O Coaly Night

O coaly night! The stoves are brightly burning,
It is the night we use heat from the earth.
Long lay the world, as it continues turning,
When buying heat, is when coal felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the chilly world rejoices,
For yonder breaks, a new and warmer morn.

Be-fore you freeze! O hear the many choices!
O oil, O coal, and more;
O oil, O coal
O coaly night
O coaly night

 

Jingle Bell Dock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell dock
Back the railcar and don’t let it knock
Snowin' and blowin' until the work’s done
Then your holiday has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell grind
Gotta get that old railcar on time
Advancin', advancin’ until the car’s there
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To spot railcars away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go shiftin’ so I get my pay

 

It's the Most Photographic Time of the Year

It's the most photographic time of year
With no railcars dwelling
And everyone telling you, “Look over here”
It's the most photographic time of year 

It's the hap-happiest season after fall
With those holiday fleetings and so many meetings
With friends who you call
It's the hap-happiest season after fall

There'll be parties for ghosting
So I can go foaming
And stalking trains out in the snow
There'll be railfanning stories
And tales of the glories of the
Pictures from long, long ago

 

Green/Yellow World

It’s a green/yellow world in the winter
when the bees come a rolling around
It’s a brisky day, I hope they won’t be late
It should be coming soon northbound

 

Feliz Trenecito

Feliz Trenecito
Feliz Trenecito
Feliz Trenecito
De un ferrocarril próspero
De un ferrocarril próspero

I wanna see a happy little train
I wanna see a happy little train
I wanna see a happy little train
From a prosperous railroad

 

Beattie, It’s Cold Outside

I really can't stay
Beattie, it's cold outside

I've got to go weigh
Beattie, it's cold outside

The customer asked
Been hoping that you'd drive in

For a true weight
I understand, please be precise
