Good morning
Some good jazz right there. I've always liked jazz, especially with horn and woodwind. Reminded me of some good Ol' New Orleans style.
How about some more morning music over coffee this morning.

SeeYou190 My Kind Of Country is an excellent album that never got much appreciation. Thanks for making the direct link.

Not at all Kevin, your welcome. That album is appreciated over here
basementdweller I have not seen this one listed. Riding The L&N. My preferred version is by Nine Below Zero (live). Great song.

Then Riding the L&N by Nine Below Zero it is.

Living the dream and happily modeling my STRATTON AND GILLETTE Railroad in HO scale. The SGRR is a freelanced Class A railroad as it would have appeared on Tuesday, August 3rd, 1954, in my personal fantasy world of plausible nonsense.
It seems we have a few Van's parked here on the old thread
The Van Morrison one was a good tune, and more recently, Donnie and Johnny deserve to be played.
Thanks for the suggestion
And Heeeere's Ronnie
All kinds of Vans in a row eh?
On the 2007 album "My Kind Of Country" Van Zant has a song simply called Train.
Feel Like A Train
Pulling On The Strain
Aways...
On An Up Hill Track
Pouring On The Coal
Getting A Little Old
Streamline Train - Van Morrison

Another good band, and perhaps it does have to do with trains indirectly Kevin.
He adored her and hoped it would be different. But her track record with relationships, (if you could call them that), was she moved through them like a Fast Moving Train.
Restless Heart has some good tunes. Here's one of my favorites.
Make it a great night my friend
Fast Moving Train by Restless Heart
That is another one that has the word "TRAIN" in the title, and dozens of times in the lyrics, but the song has nothing to do with trains.
Not sure if this was previously posted:

Agreed, since thgis thread is backed up, ...
Since thgis thread is back up, and I do not see this one...
Kinda similar to Folsom Prison, as while it's not about trains, it does indeed mention them.

My Railroad rules:
1: It's my railroad, my rules.
2: It's for having fun and enjoyment.
3: Any objections, consult above rules.
Here's a few with references to trains:
" White Room" by Cream
" Hear my Train a Comin'" by Hendrix
"Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You" by Dylan
and maybe" Train in Vein" by the Clash
but I like "City of New Orleans" as my fave train song

That Train Don't Run by Pinmonkey?
Mr. Tinkertrain by Ozzy Osbourne?
Good evening
When all is said and done, it's all about the clickety clanking of the rails, and the sound of the wind.
You just put your own music in-between.
Just as long as you have eight hours and twenty minutes to sleep
Everybody loves Johnny.
Couldn't find a video for that one either Peter, but did find a Train video for the udder one
Could very well be the longest passenger train I've ever seen with 29 cars. Corrugated stainless, heavy-weight passenger cars are a favorite of mine. Interesting how they have a very similar bird of prey on them as the Chicago & Northwestern Falcon locomotives, another favorite.
I should have included this one, also by Slim Dusty
Losin' My Blues Tonight (Live In Sydney 1992; 1998 Remaster) - YouTube
The 38 class Pacifics did indeed work the night mail trains on the Northern Line from around 1947 until about 1960.
No video this time.

I didn't know about this one until I heard on the car radio one day. It seems to use correct terminology for once.
Slim Dusty - Indian Pacific - Bing video
(Here are most of the lyrics - I had problems copying them...)
There's certainly is a lot of Train Songs.
Kinda digg the ones with the steamer sounds going along with the tune.
GN24 I love the song ghost trains by hank snow
I love the song ghost trains by hank snow
Never heard that one before GN24, but I'd have to say it was well worth the listen
Hope the video chosen makes the grade
And I'd have to say, besides liking that song, I've also grown a new fondness of red dresses now too eh
Lone Wolf and Santa FeI have been working on a playlist of songs for a long time. I added a couple from this thread today but most I’ve known for a long time. Most are rock so play them loud. Some of the highlights you’ve never heard of include Rumbling Train by Badlands and Princess of the Night by Saxon. And of course the classic The Railroad by Grand Funk Railroad. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKgicq8HcFz9vzqHR7c6XwnVPCmBU9DFM Add Quote to your Post
Here is a repost of my list for anyone who for whatever reason didn't wish to follow the link to youtube.

Plus some other songs I found on this thread.
Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd was riding his blues away on a train in Tuesday's Gone ...
Even though someone surely mentioned it already (I think it was me), it would be appropriate today to repost this one:

Returning to model railroading after 40 years and taking unconscionable liberties with the SP&S, Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads in the '40s and '50s.
