Hi Mackie and Vic:

Enjoyed my listen. The age of steam was still going strong when I was a kid. After the Saturday movies, we would go to the railroad depot and watch the switch engines at work, spotting rail cars and doing their best to stay out of the way of Texas and Pacific streamliners and troop trains.

Loved the way Vic "musicated" your lyric, Mackie... and really enjoyed hearing the story in song. There used to be a publisher/producer in West Virginia who specialized in rail road and train songs. Don't know if he is still in the biz... but if you would like details, send me a PM and I'll dig through my files for his address and info. It won't make you wealthy but can't hurt your resume's. As I recall, his contracts allow you the freedom to continue to pitch your songs, if you are engaged in those kind of efforts.

Regards,

----Dave
