I have been looking for information on this for a while. I hope you can help.
I am looking for name of song or artist of song. Song is a Christmas narration about a train trip on an empty passenger train on Christmas eve. The narrator remembers his Christmas as a child at home. The song/story ends with the Narrator hearing a women crying sitting by herself on the same train with a baby. He holds her hand and says Merry Chirstmas.

I too have been looking for the answer to this question. I have a copy on a cassette but no info. I do know that the narrator is an actor, but can't remember his name. He has done some westerns, but I just can not remember who he is. Too bad no one can help with this.

I've been trying to find information on it at well. No luck here. I was wondering to the person w/ the copy on cassette, could you post 2 or 3 or more of the verses from the cassette? I barely remember it, it's been 2 or 3 years ago when I heard it, and it might make searching online for the lyrics a little easier.

Here are the first few lyrics of that Christmas song. If you have any luck finding it, please let me know. ( There was hardly anyone on the train as it moved through the countryside... The snow covered land, slipped smoothly by. Way out there I could see a lonely house now and again... just turning on their lights against the cold oncoming night.)

It is performed by Celestial Navigations and is available on Youtube and Itunes

It is called Celestial Navigations Chapter II Track 8 " The Train" by Geoffrey Lewis

That helps a great deal, thank you very much! I didn't know the best question to ask, so I was just relying on lyric memorization and Google. Now I have every piece of info I needed. Donnarospd, thank you for your expertise.
