There are several variations on a train theme, of which Rueben is one.
Train 45 uses the same licks, just worked up for Scruggs banjo style.
Red White and Bluegrass used to do a tune, Ruby (Honey are you mad at
your man), that was also substantially the same. I'd guess that Woody
would have had a version, although I've never heard it.
