Wabash Cannonball is an American folk song that celebrates the scenic beauty and predicaments of the Great Rock Island train route. Roy Acuff of the Grand Ole Opry and Pete Seeger, among others, popularized the tune in the 20th Century. The Indiana University Marching Sycamores and Lumberjack Marching Band, the Kansas State University Marching Band, the Texas Tech University Goin' Band from Raiderland, and the University of Texas Longhorn Band use it as a theme song.

This old-time arrangement for Intermediate fiddle and violin features a train whistle (with instructions for how to play it) and chords. It is included in McIntire's series, Mountain Mommas Fiddle Tunes. Other tunes in the series include Whiskey Before Breakfast, West Fork Gals, Kitchen Girl, and The Big Rock Candy Mountain.
