Did you get our Saturday Stumper? The lyrics were from City Of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie. Steve Goodman wrote the lyrics in 1970 on a sketch pad after his wife fell asleep on the Illinois Central train, where they were going to visit his wifes grandmother. Goodman wrote about what he saw looking out the windows of the train and playing cards in the club car. Everything in the song actually happened on the ride. After he returned home he heard the train was scheduled to be decommissioned do to lack of passengers. He was encouraged to use this song to save the train.
