Chattanooga Choo Choo
Miller's locomotive song
Chattanooga Choo Choo is a 1941 big band song made famous by Glenn Miller, about a train traveling from New York to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The song became one of the first certified gold records.
The phrase now evokes the swing era and nostalgic Americana.
A historic hotel in Chattanooga occupies the former train station and bears the name.
