The song heard as the train leaves the station is "The Caissons Go Rolling Along". This song was written by Edmund L. Gruber in March 1908 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, so it would seem unlikely that it would be played by a band in the Rocky Mountains that same year. However, the tune was possibly adapted from earlier music, and was quickly so well known that when John Philip Sousa adapted it into the U.S. Field Artillery March in 1917, he was mistakenly convinced the melody dated back at least to the Civil War. Certainly an event which drew global attention, including from President Theodore Roosevelt - particularly for the involvement of two Army veterans - might have included the most up-to-date military music. A revised version of the song wasn't adopted by the U.S. Army as its official song until 1956.
