If you're a TM Books and Video fan, you might remember Fred Holstein singing "Wabash Cannonball" and "Working on the Railroad", but he also covered another train song called "Gotta Travel On". And it was featured on Lionel: The Movie (Special Edition 1997). I'm surprised that nobody has uploaded this, so I decided to upload it myself.
Lyrics:

CHORUS
Done laid around, done stayed around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone, winter's coming on
Done laid around, done stayed around
This old town too long
And I feel like I wanna travel on


There's a lonesome freight at 6.08 coming through the town
I'll be homward bound, I'll be homeward bound
There's a lonesome freight at 6.08 coming through the town
And I feel like I just want to travel on

(REPEAT CHORUS)
