You got my curiosity up and I googled. I found a version of "Riding on the Elevated Railroad" by Frankie Wallace. There is an excerpt of it here:
http://www.themadmusicarchive.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=36054 It was played on the Dr. Demento radio show of Feb. 1, 2009. http://dmdb.org/cgi-bin/plinfo.pl?drd09.0201.html You can purchase a download of the show for $2.00 here: http://drdemento.com/online.html?c=e2&s=s It was a show he did on the subject of trains. I hope this was of some help to you....and hopefully it's the version you heard back in 1960 on the jukebox.

The first record he played intrigued me with its lyrics and catchy tune. It was called "Riding on the Elevated Railroad". I have looked for 50 years for this tune again and just recently found the lyrics on a Google search locating them on some forum. ......................... _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
