    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.”
