Train Songs

I had so much fun with HenryM’s post about ‘Walking’ songs I thought we could name ‘Train’ songs next. 🎶 🚂

Here are some to get us started. 🤩
‘Last Train to Clarksville’ by The Monkees
‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ by Gladys Knight & the Pips
‘Midnight Train to Memphis’ by Kid Rock
‘Slow Train’ by Bob Dylan
‘Peace Train’ by Cat Stevens
‘Night Train’ by Jason Aldean

     Long Black Train by: Josh Turner. (That boys voice is velvet. 🥰)

Yes! Love that one. ❤️

I'll stay out of this one, dealing with trains all the time kinda ruins the glamour that most see as being on a train. 

Oh no! 😧

Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne 🤪

😇

That's about par for the course. I just waited 3hrs for engines off another train to be able to take our train to where we need to go. Now, we're waiting for another train to get out of the way so we can actually move. 

That is crazy! 😧

" Going off of the rails on a crazy train." 

😇

I'm not sure this counts but the Loco-motion ?? LOL

"Midnight train to Georgia" Gladys night & the pips!

"The NIGHTtrain" Kadoc.

"Thomas The Tank" Ringo Starr

"The Love Train" Maxi Priest.

"Train to Rhodesia" Big Youth.

Good one! 🚂🎶

Awesome! 🚂🎶

You know lots! 😊 🚂🎶

Johnny Cash, there was a big music jamboree and Johnny was singing “there is a train a coming” and just when he was in the middle of the song a train did come a rolling down the tracks. Everyone cheered. Best time ever.

Love Johnny Cash ❤️ 🚂🎶

"This is the night mail" - WH Auden - YouTube
This famous poem hasn’t got ‘trains’ specifically in the title, but it has always been one of my favourites and has stood the test of time.

One could almost view it as a precurser to rap.

     I had no idea something like this existed. It's really interesting. I can't put a finger on why, but it reminds me of the twilight zone, or Alfred Hitchcock movies. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

I wish I could post a video of an ooops a few weeks ago. 😁

I'm curious what you think of the film 'Unstoppable' about a runaway train.  Very exciting, but probably not realistic, I suppose.

Take the 'A' Train - Duke Ellington

Long Train Runnin'  Doobie Bros

Zion Train  Bob Marley

Rock N Roll Train  AC/DC

Fast Movin' Train  Restless Heart

Train Kept A Rollin'  Aerosmith

Do you want me to ruin the movie for you? 😁 Or is not very realistic good enough? I've watched it a few times and yes, it's exciting. 

"Freight Train". Peter Paul and Mary.

All great ones! 🚂🎶

YES! 🚂🎶

Lonnie Donegan is more my era, and I'm sure he had a few 'train' songs:

Rock Island line

This train

Cumberland gap

Wabash cannonball

Railroad Bill

Awesome! 🚂🎶

Oh it counts all right! 

Anything by Johnny Cash reminds me of a train, the way he plays his guitar just sounds like a locomotive to me!
