The Muppet Theater is being fumigated, so the entire show moves to a railroad station -- and is periodically interrupted by passing trains. Luckily, Loretta cheerfully tells Kermit that "country singers can sing anywhere."

Gonzo sets up a backstage office for Kermit on the caboose of a train, which takes off for Pittsburgh. While the show continues, Kermit and Gonzo try to ride a handcart back -- but they run into a train heading in the other direction.

Songs/Sketches

• Loretta and Lubbock Lou and his Jughuggers sing "You're Lookin' at Country"
• Miss Piggy's solo, "All Alone", is interrupted by passengers running to catch trains.
• Muppet News Flash
• Fozzie's Monologue: Fozzie is interrupted by a train
• At the Dance
• UK Spot: Gonzo sings "Sentimental Journey" to cheer up Kermit as they try to return to the station on a handcar.
• Loretta and the Dogs sing "Oh, Lonesome Me"
• Veterinarian's Hospital (Train Conductor): Dr. Bob can't operate on a train conductor, because he has such a bad track record.
• Muppet News Flash
• Without Kermit's direction, Fozzie, Scooter, Annie Sue and Link Hogthrob try to sing "The Rhyming Song". It doesn't rhyme at all.
• Loretta and the The Babies sing "One's on the Way"
• Closing: Because they are playing a time-sheet, we hear an extremely off-key version of the theme song.
