Brings to mind John Fogerty's "Big Train (from Memphis)" from the "Centerfield" album.

Rounder Records has the "Classic Railroad Songs" series of CD compilations. I see they are up to volume five.

Volume five is interesting in that it contains cuts from Merle Haggard's "My Love Affair with Trains", an album of railroad songs written and performed by Haggard in the 1970s. (The album cover had pictures of Haggard's model railroad.) I wish I had gotten my hands on a copy of that album while it was in print.

And these as well:

If one started listening at birth without interruption he/she wouldn't live long enough to hear all the music and songs written about railways.

John Denver did a CD with all train songs. It's very good. We have it in our collection of
John Denver CDs. The title is: John Denver All Aboard. We found it at KMart (I used to work there, in Electronics, so I usually saw the CDs when they were brought in, and usually put them out if the music rep wasn't in.
