CHOO CHOO, BABY!
TIMBER MEN CUT DOWN THE TREE
DRAGGED IT TO THE ROAD
A TEAMSTER MAN HAULED IT TO THE MILL
A MILL MAN CUT IT INTO TIES
A STEEL MAN POURED THE MOLTEN LIQUID INTO FORMS
MAKING THE MILES OF RAILS
CHINESE MEN AND IRISH MEN AND BLACK MEN
POUNDED THE JOINING STAKES
OVER MOUNTAINS, RIVERS, AND DESERTS
THE RAILROAD TRACK IS BUILT
EXPECTING THE ARRIVAL OF THE TRAIN
PULLED BY AN ENGINE, BUILT BY MEN
AND A WOMAN WANTS TO BE THE ENGINEER
