Here's an oldie. I don't think I've listened to so many songs about trains in all my life!

Arthur Honegger - Pacific 231

[quodec]

OK one more (Jeez Del, see what you've started!) This is The Beatles 'One after 909'. Listen to the lyrics!

[Del.Monte]

Never heard that track before. We were in the Cavern Club in 2000 - what a dump and the feckin Beatles weren't even there!

"The Locomotion" - a favourite of mine.

[Cyclepath]

Not sure that posts from someone called Cyclepath should be allowed in this thread but it's better than Greenway - I suppose!

I'm a driver, train enthusiast, and a cyclist Call me a pragmatist...

the moniker is actually an in joke - I was called a 'complete cyclepath' some years ago by a chap who is prone to malapropisms.

[Del.Monte]

We haven't 'run out of steam' yet - "Marrakesh Express" 1969 Crosby, Stills and Nash.

"The Wreck of old 97" song based on a true story of a railroad crash.
The song told of the September 27, 1903, crash of the Old 97, a.k.a., “the Fast Mail,” which ran between Monroe, Virginia, and Spencer, North Carolina, and had legendarily never once been late. The train’s engineer, a thirty-three-year-old named Joseph “Steve” Broady, had been ordered to put on speed by his bosses at the Southern Railway, who were concerned about keeping the company’s U.S. Mail contract. The crash occurred when the 97 failed to negotiate a curve on a forty-five-foot-high wooden trestle outside Danville, Virginia. Eleven men died so the mail could get to Spencer on time. The engineer may have died in the crash but old 97 was salvaged and ran for another 32 years.

I have heaps of train related funk/disco/boogie tracks. So many I've considered making a train themed mix. Here is a few off the top of my head:
