Hobo Train reflects on the history of the Original Hobo Band of Pitman, New Jersey with an interesting mix of original material and several railroad songs associated with hobos. Opening with a fanfare based upon I've Been Working on the Railroad a simulated train whistle leads into The Wabash Cannonball and Get on Board. The flute section is featured in a lyrical setting of This Train Is Bound for Glory and the composition ends with a rousing march style arrangement of I've Been Working on the Railroad. (3:40).
