Good morning, America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son.
This classic tune captured the timeless soul of the American countryside and the golden era when people crossed it by train. Written by Steve Goodman, immortalized by the magical voice of Arlo Guthrie, and sung around campfires by millions, "City of New Orleans" narrates the journey of the train with that name as it runs from snowy, industrial Chicago through small Midwestern towns to lush Louisiana.

Now award-winning illustrator Michael McCurdy has illuminated the striking views out the window and lively events inside the cars for all to enjoy.
