– Reuben’s Train is an old-time train song. There is considerable overlap with Train 45. We’ve heard many versions of this tune that span genres and various instruments, including a version by Elizabeth Cotten and another by Woody Guthrie. My sister and I started playing this song while sitting in the back of our car at a festival, and we combined many different versions until it appeased our ears. http://www.csufresno.edu/folklore/ballads/Wa133.html
