Doug Stone- I'd be Better Off (In a Pine Box)
Anything by James Coffey fits the bill, but I always have a soft spot for City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie.
My top 10 list:
2. Train Kept a Rollin', Aerosmith, 1974; Tiny Bradshaw, 1951

What? No Johnny Burnette? (The Aerosmith track IS a great song!)
5:15 by The Who
Can't Ignore the Train by 10,000 Maniacs, and Peace Train by 10,000 Maniacs, a remake of the Cat Stevens song.
Downbound Train by Bruce Sprinsteen
Morning Train by Sheena Easton
John Denver's train album for kids, the last one he recorded before his death in 1997, and the only grammy he ever won (It is unbelievable with all the great music JD recorded, he never won another grammy).
I also agree with my good friend Greg Houser on REMs Driver 8
Erol Gurcan
Roger Miller Old Toy Trains

I couldn't remember who else did it! I know the Yardbirds released it too and Led Zep opened with it for awhile on their first tours.....Greg
City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie is one of my favorite songs of any kind.

Any train related song by Johnny Cash. On the other hand I can't stand the songs on the TM train videos, absolutely horrible.
John.
Train Train by Black Foot Choo Choo Kenny
I like that '50s song "GeeGee you're the One" by the Pantographs.
The "Riding the Rails" album by the Smithsonian back in 1981.
"Rock Island Line" and "Blue Water Line" by The Brothers Four (60's)
"I've been working on the railroad" by Mitch Miller. My mother told me I used to dance to it while still a baby. She was so excited when she found the album and brought it home to show my Dad!
Unfortunately he had to remind her that we didn't own a record player.
ps: I did have a LIONEL stereo as a kid that I found in the trash.
Any trains songs by Johnny Cash. My parents had this exact album when I was a kid and I almost wore the thing out on the record player. Recently, I found that the Sun Records label re-released it on CD a while back, and immediately bought a copy. I still love it!
I listened to a few Sun records as a kid, and when my wife and I were in Memphis last year, I had to make the trek to the very studio this album was recorded in:

Norman has written & recorded many train songs & covers of other train songs.

musician/songwriter.
