The first one I heard as a kid was "I've Been Working on the Railroad." It's was never my favorite because that's when Disney's Davey Crockett was popular.
My all time favorite has to be "City of New Orleans."

"Drop kick me Jesus, through the goal post of life"
"Show'em to me"
"If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over you"
And for those switching moves:
"Baby got back"
Or anything by Björk or Testory.
"Baby got back" LOL. You're killing me
If these old farts around here actually knew the lyrics of that song they'd kick you outta here.
I vote for anything NOT COUNTRY.
Janice Joplin: Me and Bobby Mcgee
Arlo Guthrie: City of New Orleans
Both of which played on the AM rock radio station while I was rebuilding my layout to it's "almost" current configuration.

As I sit here tonight in front of my computer passing the time I found myself listening to mp3's and a train song came on. And I thought what was the first train song I remember knowing?
So, what was the first train song you remember? What I wish to know is the first song you can remember from your childhood other then "the little engine the could". What's the name of the song and who's the artist that sings it? Or a song that mentions a train or anything train related? Not just train or train related in the name.
For me it's "The_Wreak_of_old_97" Artist unknown as I would have to go over to Mom's and dig out the old "LP" to find out. Then it's "Arlo_Guthrie_-_City_Of_New_Orleans"
What train songs are in your collection if you have a collection?.
