"Railroad" is the first solo single released by Maurice Gibb, best known as a member of the Bee Gees.

[6] The single features guitar work by Leslie Harvey of Stone the Crows.

Gibb handled all of the vocals on this track, covering the high harmonies and the lead in a manner that was impossible not to compare with the Bee Gees, he later described it as "anticlimactic" in the box set Tales from the Brothers Gibb.

It has the big singalong chorus of the Bee Gees hit "Don't Forget to Remember" and Robin Gibb's "Saved by the Bell" plus unique features like an intro, a verse played once, and a finish.

[9] Richie Unterberger at AllMusic describes the song as "another throwback to country-pop balladry".
