city of new orleans (song)





























"city of new orleans" is a country folk song written by steve goodman (and first recorded for goodman's self-titled 1971 album), describing a train ride from chicago to new orleans on the illinois central railroad's "city of new orleans" in bittersweet and nostalgic terms.





























goodman got the idea while traveling on the illinois central line for a visit to his wife's family. the song has been recorded by numerous artists both in the us and europe, including two major hit versions: first by arlo guthrie in 1972, and later by willie nelson in 1984.
