Most every Victoria Station Restaurant is a bunch of boxcars and a caboose all stuck together. And inside, the restaurant are decorated with authentic clocks and signs and artifacts and what-have-you from the history of railroading. I grew up living around trains and I've been singing about them for years so when Victoria Station asked me to do their radio commercials and this record album, I thought that it might be an interesting project that would be a lot of fun. However, not until my wife June and my kids had a chance to eat at Victoria Station and give it their approval, did we proceed.

On the radio commercial I sing the Restaurant theme song, "Destination Victoria Station." But on this record they gave me the opportunity to write my own version of "Destination Victoria Station." It's about the old railroad depot Victoria Station in London during the Second World War, and being released for the first time on this new Victoria Station album.

I have also re-recorded some other railroad classics like Casey Jones, Wabash Cannonball, Wreck Of Old 97, and Orange Blossom Special. My appreciation for the folks at Victoria Station for helping me put these songs together for you, and as I said in their radio commercial, "If you don't mind eating lunch or dinner on a train going nowhere in the fanciest boxcar you ever did see, then make your Destination Victoria Station"

This album was put together for the restaurant chain, Victoria Station. John included rerecording of some of his old standards as well as a new mix to the title song.
