Mark Kelf and the Valley Boys hail from England and their rendition of "The Crossing" gives a rockabilly flavor to the CD. Kelf co-wrote this song with Richard Howard. Michael Stuart Jones returns to the train series with a song entitled "Dream Come True" which is a doo-wop number thus adding yet another genre to the musical mix.
