BNSF Engine 7284

Rollin’ south and north, east and west,

Pullin’ loads, trundling near and far;

Fertilizer and seed ambling north,

Beet sugar and grain flowing south,

And coal from the west to light our nights.

Engine 7284 rolls on.

Lumber to frame new houses,

Lettuce for our salads,

Peaches for homemade pies,

And enough fixins’ for bread,

We The People depend on the rails.

Engine 7284 rolls on.

Sloggin’ past flooded mud flats,

Plowin’ through desert heat and deep snow,

Past sleepy towns and big city lights,

Up purple mountains high,

Haulin’ freight over prairie bare,

Engine 7284 rolls on.

From Memphis and St. Louis

To Albuquerque and Winslow,

Even Fargo and Seattle,

Towin’ stuff for our daily grind.

Rollin’ day and night, as always,

Engine 7284 rolls on.
