Scott H	One of Dylan's most soulful songs...incredible lyrics, jaunty blues tune always in the beat of the railways. Magnificent...one of the best tracks on an almost perfect album Oct 05, 2011
RailroadGin	agree with jim b, the bootleg version is incredible. The Renaldo and Clara version is also fantastic Jan 17, 2008
