Where the Old Trains Go | A Railroad Ballad About Life, Memory & Time #Video

Where the Old Trains Go | A Railroad Ballad About Life, Memory & Time. What happens to the old trains when their work is done? This song is built around a simple idea: every train in this story can be seen as a human life.
The locomotives are people.
The tracks are the roads we’ve traveled.
The freight is the work we’ve carried.
The stations are the seasons of life.
And the engineer named memory rides with all of us.

“Where the Old Trains Go” is an extended metaphor about growing older, looking back, and wondering what becomes of the people who built the world before us. Some listeners will hear a railroad song.
Others will hear a song about fathers, mothers, grandparents, veterans, friends, and all those who carried their load with dignity before rolling quietly toward the horizon.
Maybe the old trains become stories.
Maybe they become memories.
Maybe they’re waiting just beyond the bend.
Thank you for spending a few minutes here on the porch with us.
If this song touched something in your heart, please consider subscribing. It’s free to you and priceless to us.
We’ll keep the porch light on. — Sam Dad Radio®
