Cover art for Ruination Day (Part 2) lyrics by Gillian Welch

Also references the old songs "500 Miles" (a civil war ballad, I think, recorded by among others The Kingston Trio) and "Casey Jones", based on the true story of an engineer who crashed his own train but managed to save his passengers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Jones
