. . . Other than 'The Ballad of Festus Frothjaw', that is -
"The L&N Don't Run Here Any More", as sung by one of our many talented musicians here in Ventura County, J (no period) Peter Boles.
Another one I really like, although it's not quite a RR song, is "Steam Powered Aereoplane" as sung by Pete Saladbar of the Rincon Ramblers.*

* His real name is Phil Salazar, more than once the winner of the California State Fiddle Contest. Several years ago he was playing fiddle with Teresa Russell's Cajun/Zydeco band 'Acadiana' at the 'Mule Days Festival' (or whatever it's called) in Bishop, Ca. A (probably quite tipsy) M.C. introduced the band (in which I often played third rub-board back in the day) not as 'Phil Salazar and Acadiana' but 'Pete Saladbar and the Macadamia Nuts' - a name that will live in infamy . . .
