Traditional, adapted by Kyle "Addison Beauchamp" Soyer and Nathan "Captain McCallen" Ford.

lyrics

Workin' on a new railroad, Metcalf is its name
Workin' on a new railroad, Metcalf is its name
Workin' for T. A. Schomburg in a land that's still untamed
Been all around this world

All day long we're spiking rail along the North Ponil
All day long we're spiking rail along the North Ponil
The echo off the canyon is the sound of my hot steel
Been all around this world

Loggers come for old red spruce and western yellow pine
Loggers come for old red spruce and western yellow pine
They're here to take the timber for the Continental Ties
Been all around this world

Lumber mills and drivin' wheels run on coal and steam
Lumber mills and drivin' wheels run on coal and steam
But it takes to hands of flesh and blood to make these hammers sing
Been all around this world

Workin' on a new railroad, Metcalf is its name
Workin' on a new railroad, Metcalf is its name
Workin' for T. A. Schomburg in a land that's still untamed
Been all around this world
Been all around this world
Been all around this world

about

Six-Tone Storm Chime New Mexico

The winds of the North Ponil Canyon rattle canvas like the C&N RY No. 1 is still rumblin' by.

To the inaugural 2014 staff of Metcalf Station at Philmont Scout Ranch, that's just the echoes of history.

Left to right in the banner: Kyle "Addison Beauchamp" Soyer, Weston "Paddy" Mate, Tucker "Rusty" Baker, Nathan "Captain McCallen" Ford,
