Does this one even need explaining? Classic 70s songs where trains are a metaphor for everyone coming together and showing each other more humanity. Now that I think about it, they probably ought to do a "best train songs" episode as well.

I posted this a while back and nobody managed to solve it. Hint: it's not a period piece/historical setting.

Hint 2: It's not a drama
