Songs about trains, from the prosaic to the grand to the otherworldly. Many of the classic examples include some sort of vocal or instrumental imitation of a train whistle, or (particularly in country music) the galloping snare drum that imitates the chugging of a train. Wikipedia has a list of train songs. Compare Dancing on a Bus. See also Car Song. Not to be confused with songs by the band Train. |

"This Train is Bound for Glory" (see below) gave Woody Guthrie the title for his autobiography Bound for Glory, and thus gave a title to the 1976 film about Guthrie, Bound for Glory. David Carradine, as Guthrie, I sings the song. | |

In Girl Genius the Corbettites have a daily train song that all passengers who don't pay for a private compartment must attend. As Agatha purchases a private compartment the song doesn't actually appear in the comic. (Given the Corbettites are a monastic order, it's implied the trainsong is religious, and is probably a pun on plainsong.) | |

"Midnight Special", a traditional blues song that was covered by Lead Belly and Creedence Clearwater Revival among others, is about a train that passes by a Texas penitentiary regularly at midnight, sung about in the chorus longingly from the point of view of an inmate (who also sings about the conditions of the prison). | |

C. W. McCall: McCall recorded two original songs about trains — "The Silverton", about the Durango and Silverton Railroad, and ''Gallopin' Goose", about #5 in a series of seven railcars operated by the Rio Grande Southern Railroad from the 1930s to early 1950s. He also did a cover of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans", describing a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans on the "City of New Orleans", an overnight Amtrak passenger train operated by the Illinois Central Railroad. | |

In Crossroads, blues legend Willie Brown instructs his protégé, Eugene "Lightning Boy" Martone that nobody will take him seriously as a blues guitarist until he can "make the song of a fast train to nowhere, chugging along the tracks, come outta your guitar". The old man constantly rags on the younger for his 'train song" being far too smooth. It isn't until the end, when Martone has finally felt true heartbreak, that he gets it right. | |
