Train by Blackfoot is a big favorite of mine too.

So are

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

Hear My Train a Commin - Jimi Hendrix

Can't you See - Marshall Tucker Band (only mentions train once but the beat feels like drivers torquing out and coasting)

Casey Jones - Grateful Dead

John Long Give me Magnetraction or give me Death.

Hmmmm....that's a tough one. I guess, in no particular order, my favorites would have to be the following:

The Wreck of Old 97
The City of New Orleans
Orange Blossom Special (title only - it's an instrumental)
MTA
Wabash Cannonball
East Texas Red
Little Red Caboose

Train Songs
Posted by laz 57 on Tuesday, December 14, 2004 8:14 AM
Awhile ago I posted a topic of Great Train Movies now let's see what is your favorite train song or song that mentions a train? Mine are Train made by Blackfoot in the late 70's early 80's., and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Tuedays Gone.
Let's here it?
