This line dance was choreographed to the song Baby Likes to Rock It by The Tractors. There
are a couple of neat variations that go with this song. To start when the train comes down the track:
 
LOOK FOR THE TRAIN
1-4  Split swivel L, turning body left, put R hand up & look for the train.
5-8  Split swivel R, turning body R, look for the train.
9-16  Jump back, pushing the gate closed, hold hands in front. Do the twists (count 45-48).
 
Start from count 1. If you start correctly, at the 4th wall, when you do the split swivels, there
should be a train whistle. Instead of doing split swivels, do the LOOK FOR THE TRAIN moves.
