...the version you posted. It's bigger sounding & they do the cool gear change in the middle.
Tighter, too.

Thinking about train songs and the opening lines of this kept popping into my head. Had listening fatigue from years of overplay on classic rock radio but damn. It’s a stellar song. Glad to rediscover it.
