Final three songs:  Junee and Chia, please finish this off!

6. I’ll meet you at the station - popular song by, The Monkee's

7. Taking a trip to the promised land - Old American folk song, about a train engineer

10. You’ve got to ride it like you find it - Another American folk song.  Recorded by Johnny Cash, LeadBelly, Glen Campbell, lots of others.   

Ohhhh! I almost missed another quiz.

6. Last Train to Clarksville

7. Casey Jones

These two were easy. Don't know the last one. I am a train song fan. Favorite is The Orange Blossom Special.

Don't know the last song, but I guess it's also about trains.

When I was a teenager, my boyfriend was a model-train fan. He sang the Wabash Cannonball  as "Listen to the rattle, the rumble and the roar...
He built the cars out of cardboard and paper, and used an old typewriter to make strips of studs, punching hard on the period key to make the bumps on the reverse side of the paper. But the trains ran on time   

#10.. The Rock Island Line?

Final three songs guessed correctly!

MarsGal -   
#6 - The Last Train to Clarksville
#7 - Casey Jones

Chia -
$10 - The Rock Island Line

rutumi - Most performers seemed to put their own personal spin on the words to the old folk songs. When I looked up the lyrics, it was interesting that Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, and Woody added or changed different words.  (Sounds like you had a very creative boy friend!)

I love all train songs, especially the old folk songs.  My favorite is The City of New Orleans.  I actually get teary eyed when I listen to that one.  Such descriptive, plaintive lyrics.

Oh dear - I just realized that I left out a good pop standard by Duke Ellington!  Take the A Train!

There's another train song: "In the pines"
Here's the start of Bill Monroe's version, and the words I learned:

The longest train I ever saw             The longest train I ever saw         
Went down that Georgia line            Was on that railroad line
The engine passed at six o'clock       The engine passed at six o'clock
And the cab passed by at nine          The cab came by at nine

In the pines, in the pines                 In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines             Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the                   And you shiver, when the cold
cold wind blows                               wind blows
Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo

We were camping on Mount Mitchell in the Great Smoky Mountains in 1950, and were invited to stay a few nights in the log cabin housing the parkies, meteorologist, and concession boys, when we were rained out of our all too sopping tents. They all sang, and taught us many songs from the area.
This quiz brought me back.        

rutumi - I like the lyrics to "In the Pines".  That same mournful vibe, that so many of the train songs have.  I plan to look it up on YouTube, and listen. I wonder if Park rangers/employees, still sing those old songs, or sit around a campfire in the evenings? Somehow, I think not - but I hope I'm wrong.  I'd like to believe that they do.
I have some misty memories of riding on trains a lot, when I was a kid during WWII. Something from my distant past that has stayed with me, which is probably why I love the songs. When I hear one, a feeling of nostalgia comes over me and stays for a while.

Thank you all for playing!  Final results of the Train Quiz.

Here is your prize . . . a big bouquet of balloons!

Ahhhh! You are so right Marilyne. I don't know why I thought of Orange Blossom Special but City of New Orleans is the one I was thinking of, especially if it is Woody or Arlo Guthrie singing it.

There are a lot more train songs, many of which I've never heard. Wikipedia has a big list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_train_songs

I really enjoyed your quiz..and seeing others trying too..The balloons have already busted...but appreciate getting them

For friends of CHIA.  Sorry to tell you she will not be putting in any more  quizzes for us to enjoy. Is in hospital and the future is critical. I am in touch with her family and any further news will bring to you.

Thank you Junee, for letting us know about Chia.  She has been the heart of this folder for all the years that it has been in existence.  Thanks to Chia, we have enjoyed many fun trivia and music quizzes over the years.  Please keep us posted when you hear anything about her. I will be hoping for a miracle!

Junee...
...thank you for relaying this message...yet, so sorry to hear this news...I along with others will be wishing Chia all the best in dealing with her " critical " hospital stay...

Junee, my heart grows heavy on hearing about Chia's health. I can only hope she is not suffering. She was the spirit of this discussion and in the games, and we miss her very much.
Thank you for relaying any news you get.

I was surprised and saddened to hear about Chia. She will be in my thoughts and thank you for keeping us informed.

Chia, oh no, Chia! What startling news. My hopes and prayers go out to her and her family. Thanks for keeping us informed, Junee.

Thanks for the update  Junee. We have had a running debate for years over the spelling of her name---Chia or Chya for a long time now and I look forward to continuing the discussion when she gets back.

Thank you Junee, for letting us know about Chia, so sorry to hear the news.  I alway checked the quizzes, but seldom had the right answer. Just not as smart as the rest of you.  Although I did learn something.  My prays and thoughts are with Chia.

I've been doing some of the quizzes on YouTube the last two mornings. Some are pretty easy, but others are in areas I don't have a clue (like the newer pop stars and entertainers). Anyway. Here is one that sticks in my mind because it surprised me so much.

From where did the pineapple originate?
1. Hawaii
2. South America
3. Phillipines

Good question   But I remembered who brought the fruit to Europe...

I'm guessing it is probably not the obvious so I'll go with South America? Edit: I just Googled.

Hi, Patricia. Yes, it is South America. Surprised the H out of me when I saw the answer. Did your Google tell you what part of South America?

I've discovered with the Trivia Questions on YouTube, I am the weakest in Geography.

Hi. I had guessed before I Googled because I had the feeling that it wouldn't be the obvious choice. I Googled because I wanted to see if my impression was correct. I remember Brazil and Paraguay and something else I've forgotten. Those feelings aren't always accurate, more of a supposition.

I've always lived by the saying that Google was my friend, even if that friend remembers things I've forgotten or wanted to be buried and tells other folks my secrets, but a friend in need if not by deed.

Geography has never been my strong suit either, but history is and that circumvents geography in many ways.

For those who followed Chia’s last song quiz, when she had finished publishing questions answers and winners, just look at the name of the song she put at the end, I listen to it then and iI listened again today.          I Have a Dream. 

Thank you Junee -
For anyone who wants to hear a lovely song with great lyrics, here is, "I Have a Dream" by ABBA
