    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.”

        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.
