Stop the Trains

I was a railroad operator in my early days
It was nineteen fifty-seven or fifty eight I’d say
A call came on the crank phone with a message to relay
The southeast winds were baffling down the mountain range
I knew nothing of the winds out there and I was all alone
I could hardly hear the stranger crackling on the phone
It was Lauchie MacDougall the human weathervane
Direct line to the station telling me to stop the trains
Stop the trains, from going down the track
The Wreckhouse winds are blowing and they’re blowing mighty fast
Stop the trains, you don’t wanna let’em pass
Hold them at Riverview and Port Aux Basques
Lauchie MacDougall the human weathervane
Had a way of knowing when the winds were gonna change
When he’d call the station it was time to stop the trains
And many an hour could pass before he’d let’em go again
A highfalutin manager came into town one day
Said one’s man’s authority should not be stopping strains
He replaced him with a forecast and took away his pay
When the might winds picked up a train they hired him back again
