Pre-Chorus
But up in the clouds where the old smoke curls
Snowy stood with her two brave girls
Hooves on thunder, eyes on flame
Calling the railroad back by name

Chorus
We brought steel back from the grave
From forgotten tracks we swore to save
Through weeds that choked the right-of-way
We cleared a path for a brand-new day
From WW1’s iron might
To answer the call of a world at war
When history turned and drums began
The rails would rise and run again

Verse 2
In scrapyard fields and forest lines
We found old giants lost to time
Weathered numbers, faded paint
Boilers cracked but spirits faint
1918 stamped in steel
Built for war they used to feel
The fireman’s shovel, the engineer’s hand
Echoes of another land
Snowy brushed the rust away
“Wake them up — they still can stay.”
Her friends struck sparks in the rain
And the fire came alive again

Pre-Chorus 2
From NorthWestern shops to Missouri Pacific yards
Hammer and hope against the odds
Side rods shining, whistles cry
Smoke reborn against the sky

Chorus
We brought steel back from the grave
From broken lines, we dared to save
Greased the rods and stoked the flame
Every engine knew its name
From WW1’s battered frame
To WW2 they rode again
When darkness spread across the land
The railroad rose at Snowy’s command

Bridge (Big, emotional, cinematic)
Freight for factories, troops on board
Rolling thunder toward the war
Black smoke rising like a vow
“We are needed — here and now.”
Abandoned yards became alive
Coal dust breath and steel that thrives
The NorthWestern and Missouri Pacific lines
Heartbeat strong through troubled times
Snowy in the midnight air
Two friends riding beside her there
Guiding wheels through snow and flame
Making legends from our name

Final Chorus (Anthem)
Steel reborn and running free
Across the plains and history
From silent rails to battle cry
We would not let them die
World War drums and whistle screams
Fire fueled by bigger dreams
From lost and rust to victory
Our railroad wrote its destiny

Verse 1 The yards were ghosts in the morning haze Rust on the rails, silence for days Switch towers hollow, windows blown Signal lights that no longer shone Roundhouse doors hung off their seams Ash pits cold as broken dreams The NorthWestern slept beneath the sky Missouri Pacific waiting to die Pre-Chorus But up in the clouds where the old smoke curls Snowy stood with her two brave girls Hooves on thunder, eyes on flame Calling the railroad back by name Chorus We brought steel back from the grave From forgotten tracks we swore to save Through weeds that choked the right-of-way We cleared a path for a brand-new day From WW1’s iron might To answer the call of a world at war When history turned and drums began The rails would rise and run again Verse 2 In scrapyard fields and forest lines We found old giants lost to time Weathered numbers, faded paint Boilers cracked but spirits faint 1918 stamped in steel Built for war they used to feel The fireman’s shovel, the engineer’s hand Echoes of another land Snowy brushed the rust away “Wake them up — they still can stay.” Her friends struck sparks in the rain And the fire came alive again Pre-Chorus 2 From NorthWestern shops to Missouri Pacific yards Hammer and hope against the odds Side rods shining, whistles cry Smoke reborn against the sky Chorus We brought steel back from the grave From broken lines, we dared to save Greased the rods and stoked the flame Every engine knew its name From WW1’s battered frame To WW2 they rode again When darkness spread across the land The railroad rose at Snowy’s command Bridge (Big, emotional, cinematic) Freight for factories, troops on board Rolling thunder toward the war Black smoke rising like a vow “We are needed — here and now.” Abandoned yards became alive Coal dust breath and steel that thrives The NorthWestern and Missouri Pacific lines Heartbeat strong through troubled times Snowy in the midnight air Two friends riding beside her there Guiding wheels through snow and flame Making legends from our name Final Chorus (Anthem) Steel reborn and running free Across the plains and history From silent rails to battle cry We would not let them die World War drums and whistle screams Fire fueled by bigger dreams From lost and rust to victory Our railroad wrote its destiny
