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.”
