"I was hoping the train
Was my big number
Stopping in Santa Fe and the arches of Topeka"
^The lyric should be "and the Atchison Topeka".... the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe was a railroad that went out west...
This is a reference to the Judy Garland movie called "The Harvey Girls", and her 'big number' in the movie was "Atchison Topeka and the Sante Fe" (every movie she was in had a big song/choreography number)
Another interesting fact about the big train/song scene was that she learned what she was supposed to do with the music and in the scene, went on a trip for about 2 weeks or a month or something, then when she came back she did it in ONE take!
