The Railroad Hour was a delightful radio series that aired musical dramas and comedies from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. Sponsored by the Association of American Railroads, the show condensed beloved musicals and operettas into shorter formats, focusing on works written before 1943.
 
 Here are some highlights:

• Host and Leading Man: The talented Gordon MacRae hosted each episode and played the leading male roles. His leading ladies came from both radio and the Metropolitan Opera.
• Musical Selections: The show featured excerpts from classic musicals such as:
  • No, No, Nanette (with co-star Doris Day)
  • Brigadoon (with co-star Jane Powell)
  • The Desert Song
  • Holiday Inn
  • The Merry Widow
  • The Mikado
  • Naughty Marietta
  • Show Boat
  • Song of Norway
  • State Fair
  • The Student Prince
  • The Vagabond King
• Musical Director: Carmen Dragon led the musical direction, and the show’s theme song was the familiar tune, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.”
