So - whatever genre - what's got to be the best "train songs" folks?

I've had some "White Room" for its platform and train reference...

The (Apple Music) World is my oyster, and apart from some more Gerry Rafferty ("City to City"?) I may be falling into a particular groove here....

PS - Trades Description Act: "First Great Western" is neither first class nor great. And I'm travelling east! frown

My friends' best suggestions so far have been Elvis and "Mystery Train"

For the lines

"'Cause this train is leaving,
It's rolling down the track
Singing "Ain't no turnin' back""

You're all stars/geniuses!

I was stuck on a Led Zep loop for a moment ...

For example: http://youtu.be/Bup_W6W8axI


Which is, of course, over the tracks and beyond the signal box in its brilliance! ... But great, great directions!

Yay Monkees !!! Beyond brilliant thumbup
