On Saturday, April 19th at 1:00, musician and songwriter Jon Waterman will present his program “The Railroad in Song,” taking his audience on a tour of songs about trains, railroad workers, train wrecks, heroes and hobos. Stations visited include the Transcontinental Railroad, the stories of Casey Jones and John Henry, the Ashtabula and 97 wrecks , the Great Migration and more. The show consists of songs, history, and an accompanying slide presentation. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Great Barrington Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
