There's a long black train comin' down the line,
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'.
Rails of sin, only evil remains.
Watch out, brother, for that long black train.
Look to the heaven's, you can look to the sky.
You can find redemption staring back into your eyes.
There is protection and there's peace the same:
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train.
'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.
There's an engineer on that long black train,
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain.
He's just a-waitin' on your heart to say:
"Let me ride on that long black train."
But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.
Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away.
It sounds so good but I must stay away.
That train is a beauty makin' everybody stare,
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere.
But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.
I said cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.
Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train.
That devil's drivin' that long black train.

looks like a pretty route, needs a Locomotive and some passengers to enjoy it!

Thank you. This is a route from long ago. Used only for storage of old train cars now. Such a shame, as this runs between two historic old hotels. Made a good walk, though.

How long is the trackage? You could find Railroad fans that could form a club, willing to put up money to restore and privatize the line and preserve history!

I love this shot. Very cool. The leading line of the rusted, curving rails really draw you in to another era. You can almost hear the ghosts . . .

Thank you. This one turned out better than I had hoped for.

Is there a Locomotive still attached to that? That would be really Cool if there was!
cindy47452 37 months ago | reply
Sorry, there is not. There are several old locomotives around this train yard and a lot of other old cars hooked to this one.

If this was near me, I'd go rescue that train :)
cindy47452 33 months ago | reply
There would be lots of rescues here. They have all kinds of old railcars.

That's a very forlorn-looking train. Wonder what stories it could tell. Thanks for the image and the lyrics.
