The Iron Horse gathers a selection of 18 tracks from the golden age of the railroad – 1926-1952 – tales of myth and romance chronicling the seminal role in American history played by development of this most romantic mode of transport. Tracks from artists including Red Foley, Roy Acuff and Merle Travis document the resilience of the people of the tracks and the life of the hobos nearby, and paint strong lyrical imagery of the iron horse and the indelible mark it left.
