"Driving the Last Spike"--Genesis

This song is about what English workers went through to build the rails in the 1800s. It's from their 1991 album We Can't Dance. This is one of those songs that really hits me...I take the train every day to work and relied almost solely on rail (trains & subways) during my two stints in Europe, so thinking about what the workers went through means a lot to me. Plus the passion in the song is unmistakable. Enjoy!
