  • "There's No Stopping Us" (more commonly known nowadays as Cargo Movin' People) was a song produced by the J. Walter Thompson Company in 1980 for the N&W as part of there "There's No Stopping Us" advertising campaign. It was originally available to N&W Employees in the form of a Eva-Tone Soundsheet & distributed via the July 1980 Issue of The Norfolk & Western Employee magazine. Following the merger, the song was used in Marc S. Balkin's Rail's To Roanoke show, produced in 1987 (documenting that year's NRHS Convention, held in Roanoke, Virginia with N&W 611 & 1218). This recording, sourced from an original Eva-Tone Soundsheet is the best quality version now available to my knowledge.

    When it's cargo movin' time it's time to put it on the line

    We keep the cargo rollin' every hour of every day
    From out in Kansas City

    Glad to see this is finally out there! I tracked down a copy a couple years ago and got it digitized with restoration by a friend of mine. Just never got around to uploading it, I probably will eventually just for the restorations sake. I am mostly glad that after all these years of misinformation about the songs title, and even people saying as if it were fact that CW McCall recorded this, that the true information is finally known. However, the shorter versions of the songs that were recorded for radio ads are still at large. Hmmm……

      It isn’t actually. I was thinking this too but it was whatever ad agency from Norfolk that’s on the record
      Edit: after watching a whole D&S documentary narrated by the man the myth the legend, C.W. McCall, I can now say that I truly think he was brought into the ad agency to do the song. Especially after listening to his song Silverton which is very similar

      As denoted in the description:
      "It was originally available to N&W Employees in the form of a Eva-Tone Soundsheet & distributed via the July 1980 Issue of The Norfolk & Western Employee magazine."
      Copies of "There's No Stopping Us" can be found in copies of the July 1980 issue of the Norfolk and Western Railway Magazine. (That is if the magazine still has the record within it, as it was removable so it could be played on vinyl record player. It sometimes appears on Ebay but very rarely does.
