The song writers should have Marshalled their resources

That's Marshall, Texas, of course. Jefferson is merely the last stop
made by The Sunshine Special and The Texas Eagle before they reached
Marshall, on the way from Sa'nt Louis to San Antone.

You know, each of these trains has at least one song written about it.
Yet, none mentions my birthplace. Can you believe it?!
