Train Tracks is a classic rag that takes you on a journey through America’s past – from the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad to the California Gold rush. This song honours the sweat and labour of the builders who laid down the iron train tracks, and celebrates the success and fortune of those who moved West in search of a better life.

Powerful chords and a syncopated melody express the forward force of the steam engine and the momentum it brought to the gold seekers.
