Myself and my father bumped into Boxcar Willie in a bar on the main Dublin - Belfast road, just north of Dundalk, in the late 70s. The bar was called the Sportsman and when my father noticed it was Boxcar Willie they shook hands and chatted for a while. Joe Lennon (Now living in Yorkshire)

I too have thought for years that this was Boxcar Willie and that the song was saying " ride the train, ride the train, everywhere I go I ride the train, riding in a Boxcar Willie train." Boy was I wrong. The name of the song is Ride the Train. It is by the group Alabama originally and the lyrics are " ride the train, ride the train, riding in a boxcar when it rains." Maybe this will help you. It as been bugging me forever. I still don't think the version I heard was the Alabama version though. It sure does sound different when you listen to it on youtube.
