eddie g posted:NOT TRUE. I have known this song since the 40's, but today I heard it again on my car radio. It is false. The train leaves Philadelph I A and ends up in California. It is not the SF out of Philadelphia, it's the Pennsylvania RR till it gets to St. Louis. Right or wrong?
I guess you will have to complain to Johnny Mercer, who wrote the lyrics, for the 1946 song. Lots of people, all the way from Philadelphia,,,,,,,,,,,. I really don't see the problem.
