Its riding - on - the - rails rhythm suggests its theme and the on - the - move nature of the group. It features all the Wilburys ( excluding Bob Dylan, who was on tour at the time, though he is featured in the video ) as lead singers ; George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. The song then expands into a `` freight train '' rhythm to underscore its theme. It was released as the second single from the album, eventually peaking at No. 63 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The music video for `` End of the Line '' was filmed after Orbison 's death in December 1988. To honor the loss, a shot of a guitar sitting in a rocking chair next to a photo of Orbison was used when his vocals are heard.
