This one might not make sense to more recent generations. There was a popular song way back with the line “Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo,” but stereotypical movie Indians called trains “iron horses.”
Thank you! I’ve got some years on me but wasn’t familiar with that song anyway.
Well, the song is from 1941 - so would need to be a lot of years, though it was a monster hit, was in a movie, and stayed in the pop culture for a pretty long time. 1941 is decades before I was born.

It actually is the special train to Pankow in east Berlin.
