To find lots more songs, plug either "train" or "rail" into the Filter box, and set Age to "3 years" and click the Refresh button.

But if you just want to know my personal favorites, I'd vote for One More Ride, Glendale Train. I also like "Orange Blossom Special," as sung by Johnny Cash. A lot of people don't even know it has words. It's in DT.

By the way, I like trains, too, although my dad was only a janitor in the headquarters building of the Missouri Pacific Railroad in St. Louis. Don't laugh: It kept him out of WW2 because he worked in an "essential industry." Not only did we get cheap tickets, but he was able to bring home lots of souvenirs. Just the other day, after visiting my mother's house, I brought home a copy of "The Uniform Code of Operating Rules." (Hope I got the title right.) I worked in an office there myself four summers in a row while I was a college student.
