To Parents: This record is not only a dramatic presentation of the country's most wonderful railroad folk songs - but it also, through its carefully-written text, correlates closely with the elementary school curriculum. 'Working on the Railroad' offers the child a sound picture of an event of prime importance in American history - and it helps him (in a way that no book or picture can) to relive an era (a teaching approach which educators have found to be the best by far). That is why we have taken the pains to search out authentic, yet not-too-familiar, songs like 'The Shiny Silver Rails' and 'Paddy'. We know that such material deepens and enriches the learning process.

Songs include Working On The Railroad, Kit Carson, Paddy and The Shiny Silver Rails.
