Listen to ‘Tamping Song’—an ode to ‘Tamping Ondo,’ a Japanese work song that captures the spirit of laborers dedicated to the rail, featuring percussionist Haruka Fujii.\nAlso, listen to one of the many Bad Man ballads as an American tradition – something of a precursor to politically charged rap.  Hear a version of The Ballad of Railroad Bill (wuwf.org), as arranged by Too Sad for the Public. Then, listen to eerie 21st century chamber music by Belgian violinist, violist, composer and actress Catherine Graindorge who uses a classical-looking string ensemble with harmonium and electronic treatments on her work “Ghost Train”. Plus, hear works inspired by trains and pieces that take us to different parts of the world: Tuscany, Ukraine, and Colombia. - Caryn Havlik\nProgram #4958, Different Trains, Part 2 (First aired 12/12/2024)\nARTIST: Steve Reich / Kronos QuartetWORK: Steve Reich: Different Trains, I - America-Before the War [2:00]RECORDING: Works 1965-1995SOURCE: Nonesuch #79451INFO: nonesuch.com\nARTIST: Poppy AckroydWORK: Trains [4:36]RECORDING: ResolveSOURCE: One Little Independent RecordsINFO: https://poppy.bandcamp.com/album/resolve\nARTIST: Naftule's DreamWORK: Sitting in Some Train Watching the Tuscan Landscape Go Speeding Backward [3:43]RECORDING: BloodSOURCE: Naftule’s Dream RecordingsINFO: Available at AppleMusic, YouTube, Spotify, Amazon.com\nARTIST: Daniel Casimir & L' Ensemble SquillanteWORK: Columbian Train Ride [2:32]RECORDING: SpaccataSOURCE: SonogrammeINFO: Try Amazon.com or Discogs. \nARTIST: TribecastanWORK: Night Train to the Ukraine [5:43]RECORDING: New Songs from the Old CountrySOURCE: Evergreene MusicINFO:  Available at AppleMusic, YouTube, Spotify, Amazon.com\nARTIST: Too Sad For the PublicWORK: Railroad Bill (pt2) [6:31]RECORDING: Vol. 2 - Yet and StillSOURCE: StorySound RecordsINFO: https://storysoundrecords.com/too-sad-for-the-public/vol-2-yet-and-still\nARTIST: Last ForeverWORK: Spike Driver Blues [3:49]RECORDING: Trainfare HomeSOURCE: StorySound RecordsINFO: https://storysoundrecords.com/last-forever/trainfare-home\nARTIST: Silkroad Ensemble, Rhiannon GiddensWORK: Tamping Song (feat.
