We seem to have moved from the original post "Rock songs about trains" to songs about trains generally so here is my two pence worth:

Night Train - Oscar Peterson, Georgie Fame and many others

The Train I Ride - old skiffle song

Rock Island Line - ditto

Morningtown Ride  The Seekers

Pacific 2-3-1 Honegger

Last Train to San Fernando Johnny Duncan & the Blue Grass Boys

The Runaway Train Vernon Dalhart

Waterloo Sunset  The Kinks

The Slow Slow Train Flanders & Swann

The Wreck of Old 97 Johnny Cash/June Carter, Willie Nelson et al

Coronation Scot Vivian Ellis

There are many many more but that will do to be going on with

[skiprat8152]

My favourite, although blues -' Smokestack Lightning' Howling Wolf and others

[marco neri]

Train in vain - THE CLASH

[JohnChell]

Wow, I'm getting quite a playlist here,

German rockers UFO not only covered Mystery Train, but also had a track called Midnight Train, of course Guns and Roses had a "Night Train" on their appetite for destruction album (although I'm not sure that's the railway sort of train) and Bob Seeger sang about the "Down Town Train".

..and , sadly this week, just from starting post
Locomotive - MOTÖRHEAD..

[JohnChell]

I should of course include Ozzy doing Crazy Train, but to be honest I'd rather watch these two than Ozzy, so here are two twins covering Crazy Train as an instrumental on harps!

! No longer available

And for something a bit more lively
