 Save Our American Railroads, they're fading fast

The Cape Cod Flyer - 2018

Summertime Service from Boston to Cape Cod

I Saw America by Train

Written by Bill Russo

I saw America by train.

From the rocky coast of Maine

to the vast Texas plain

I saw America by train.

On board at south station,

the rail hub at Boston,

over the tracks you be racin’

to the Texas Eagle at Austin

South Station in Boston - Still standing as of 2018 and serving 

millions of passengers on the busiest route in America - 

Boston to Washington D.C. 

This Austin depot is gone but the Texas Eagle still runs every day

on its way from the dusty plains to the city of angels known as L. A.

Through piney woods and trails

beyond the Alamo and Dallas

you fly along the speedy rails

to the end of the run at Los Angeles

The old Southern Pacific Station at L.A.

You can still see America by train.

Though Congress hates the track

and tries to flush it down the drain

Lowly Amtrak keeps fightin’ back.
