Destination Victoria Station is a 1975 album by country music singer Johnny Cash. It was offered as a CBS Special Product and could only be bought at Victoria Station restaurants. Cash re-recorded many of his old train songs for this album, including "Hey Porter", "Casey Jones", "Waitin' for a Train" and "Wreck of the Ol' 97", as well as recording two new songs, "John Henry", and "Destination Victoria Station". In addition to re-recording songs, Cash also re-recorded his voice on "Wabash Cannonball" and "Orange Blossom Special", both retaining their original backing music. To date this album has never been released on CD and it was omitted from the otherwise-comprehensive 2012 box set Johnny Cash: The Complete Columbia Album Collection.
