Guitar music (and trains).

Lovely film here https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0024y3g/ulster-in-focus-trains
can anybody identify the guitar music at about 11 minutes in?
I know it and have on a disc somewhere - is it Ry Cooder?

Great Dream From Heaven by, as you suspected, Ray Cooder. Shazam is your friend

So it is! Thanks for that it'd got stuck in my head. Shazam is new to me so thanks for that too.
An early version here

You beat me to it! Although I didn't need Shazam..
Used to be able to play it tolerably well, but fingers don't work like they used to!

Just simple gospel music so easy to pick out the tune on my banjo but would be nice to play a filled out version on guitar and have downloaded tab etc.

You learn something every day. Having watched it I now know that the standard gauge in NI was 5 ft 3, so different from the rest of the UK, must have added to cost of rolling stock.

Nice film, thanks for putting the link up. The presenter's dressing up box rivals Johnson's when he was in #10. I wonder if he got to keep all the outfits.

If you like Ry Cooder I guess you might have seen the Wim Wenders Film "Paris Texas", slow, strange, but magnificent as a film and for the soundtrack. I think the film is on one or two streaming services and the soundtrack was definitely released as a CD.

The vibraphone piece at the end is good - Modern Jazz Quartet "Ralph's new Blues" (early US jazz musicians called them vibraharps).
