I know we've talked about trains in the movies and Palmlands refrence to the "Last Train to Clarksville" got me thinking about great songs about railroads or trains so I was wondering if anyone here has any favorites.
Gordon Lightfoots Early Morning Rain and Steel Rail Blues.
City of New Orleans - Arlo Guthrie
Diver 8 - R.E.M.
Take the A Train - Do Subways count?

All great songs, Tanner. May I add to your list the song about the place "... where they hung the jerk that invented work..." Now, there's a great railroad ballad for you.
Trivia question: Considering the highly sophisticated and cultured people who hang around this forum, I assume someone can name this tune?

There is no better train song than City of New Orleans.
For an instrumental I really like Honneger's Pacific 231 performed by Tomita. And there's Pat Matheney's Last Train Home which Amtrak used in its commercials in the late '80s or early '90s. These two pieces are very different, but they really capture the mood of a train ride.
Johnny Cash's Rock Island Line and Hey Porter are classics.

Don't usually post here, but seeing the topic, I have to throw in a couple of songs in addition to the good tunes already mentioned. "All Down the Line" from the Rolling Stones excellent Exile on Mainstreet album really captures the feel and energy of a fast-moving train. Another mention has to go to Johnny Cash. I finally got around to getting Cash's first American Recordings album, several train theme songs on there, "let the train blow the whistle"(when I'm gone) and the spirtual "Down there by the train" about being baptized for your sins.
Lastly, have to throw in a great tune from Chuck Berry,"Let it Rock" with clever lyrics from a little different perspective and a different era. There is also a great Rolling Stones live cover version of this song from the early 70's for you fellow music lovers. I'll copy Chuck's cool lyrics at the end of the post.
Don't think I will post on the amtrak discussions in general(gets too addicting), but I should say thanks to everbody for helping out with trip planning over the years. I have enjoyed all the trip reports and the back and forth. Even convinced my parents to take the train for the first time all the way from Minneapolis to San Diego this past October. They went to Chicago, then took the Chief to Fullerton, then the next train to San Diego. They had a great time and everything went well for them.
Since I'm already posting, to add one thought from the previous Amtrak discussion, is that I hope some additional Chicago-Minneapolis frequencies are of the absolute highest priority for any expansion discussion. I know everybody wants to be served where they live, but I think this is a case where ridership would more than justify it very, very quickly. Traditionally this was a highly competitive rail passenger market with the CNW 400, Milwaukee's Hiawatha, the Burlington Zephrys and even the slower Soo Line offering a lot of local service across wisconsin. All the four lines are still there, they are all in main line shape. The distance is 400 or 425 miles or so. Perfect for the Corridor mentality. And any new service would plug right into all the existing connections in Chicago. CP Rail has been absolutely excellent with the Empire Builder and Hiawatha service over an extended periord of time. Maybe something could be worked out for additional track capacity. I personnally do not think holding out and waiting for the large amount of money to provide direct service to Madison or "high-speed rail" is worth it. How about "on-time" and ,"quality service" rail. And high "average" speed. I'll go for that. The columbus station is relatively close to Madision as it is. And despite of what the politicians and the university think of their own self-importance, they are not the center of Wisconsin or the most important market. I live in northwest wisconsin, close to the border with Minnesota, and Minneapolis St. Paul has the U of M which is as big as Madison, PLUS all kinds of other large universitys in the MIAC schools and of course maybe 2.5 to 3 million people. To better connect the "Twin cities" to Milwaukee and America's great "Second" City is the most important thing. Even If the additional service is on the existing route, and even at the current 80 mph I think it would be very successful, especially with new equipment. I just hope they remember to order new "lounge cars' to. I think that is one of biggest advandatages to other modes of travel.The fact that your not "stuck" to your seat. Even much more important than whether you have good dining or not. I would really like to see expanded Chicago-MSP passenger rail service by the time the Minneapolis to Saint Paul "Central Corridor" Light rail project is completed and connected to the existing successfull LRT between downtown Minneapolis, the airport and Mall of America. Of course it would be great if they would have the trains stop at St. Paul Union depot again, but even if they don't, once they get the Central Corridor LRT up and running down University Ave, that would be within walking distance of the current Amtrak station in the midway, so either way you would be able to get where your going when you step off the train.
Here are those cool Chuck Berry lyics. Take Care.
Let It Rock (Chuck Berry)
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues "She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun Payday's coming and my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
Everybody's scrambling, running around Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane Trying to get the workers out the way of the train Engineer blows the whistle loud and long Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on

Tanner, we have had this strand before too. In fact, I started it once! But I don't mind having it again, I'm a music person.
"Where they hung the jerk who invented work" is from "Big Rock Candy Mountain." I don't think of that one as a train song, though it IS about hoboes. Actually, it's more of a food and drink song!!! And I do think of many other hobo songs--e.g., "Hobo's Lullaby," certainly (a Woody Guthrie song, sung by his son Arlo, among others), and "King of the Road" (Roger Miller) to an extent--as train songs. And Louis Armstrong's "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train," esp the intro ("Pittsboig, Vicksboig, all the boigs". . . something like that)
For me too, "City of New Orleans" is probably my favorite train song of all time. It captures the sorrow and nostalgia I feel about what our modern commercial society has done to trains and to so much else of beauty in America. And it has some lovely images--Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the rhythm of the rails, the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers.
Coast Starlight, yes, I know the "Texas Eagle" by Steve Earle playing with the Del McCoury bluegrass band on his album The Mountain. It's a great song, another of my very favorite train songs. "Texas Eagle" even mentions Amtrak, not favorably, but in a humorous "rhyme":
Nowadays they don't make no trains Just them piggyback freighters and them Amtrak "thaings" . . .
Mr Toy, "Rock Island Line" is an old Leadbelly (Huddy Ledbetter) song. I love his version; I also really like the version by the Weavers, which is more tuneful, though they do add some silly lines (it's a live performance). For Johnny Cash train songs, my favorite is "Folsam Prison Blues," which I find myself humming whenever I'm waiting for a train that's a-coming (including when I am in NYC or DC and waiting for a subway/Metro). The anticipation in that song (so well done in the excellent film Walk the Line) captures the approaching train more than almost any other.
I will have to check out those instrumentals you mention, Mr Toy; don't know them. But for train instrumentals, two favorites are "Orange Blossom Special" as performed by Vassar Clements playing fiddle with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their triple album (double CD) Will the Circle Be Unbroken (the first one), and definitely Duke Ellington Band doing "Take the A Train," Tanner. I don't care if it's about a subway, it's a great train song to me, I always think about it on the train.
Some other favorite train songs of mine:
"Midnight Special": another Leadbelly song, but I like the version by Creedence Clearwater Revival; I also like their song "Cross-Tie Walker"
"The Wreck of the '97": This is a great song, written late 19C I think. I like the version done by Patrick Sky, which has all the lyrics, but some bluegrass versions are quite good too.
"Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips
"Atchison, Topeka & the Santa Fe"--hard to find a good version, though
"Chattanooga Choo-Choo"--Glenn Miller version (with vocal) is a good one for this.
"Glendale Train"--I like the version by New Riders of the Purple Sage
"I'm a Train" by Albert Hammond
"It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"--this is a Bob Dylan song, but I like the version done on the Super Session album by Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield/Steve Stills
"Marrakesh Express" by Crosby, Stills & Nash (wrong continent, but I like it)
"Last Train to Clarksville" by the Monkees
"Choo Choo Ch'Boogie"--Louis Jordan or Manhattan Transfer version both very good
"Southbound Train" by Nanci Griffith
"There a Train" by the Holmes Brothers
"To Morrow" by the Kingston Trio; also their song "Buddy Better Get on Down the Line" and, speaking of subways, "M.T.A" by the Kingston Trio, which is to the tune of aforementioned "The Wreck of the '97"
also the theme from Petticoat Junction
"Shuffle Off to Buffalo" (I think from 42nd Street)
"Jenny Dreamed of Trains"--I like the version by Sweethearts of the Rodeo
"Love Train" by the O'Jays
"Sentimental Journey"
"Night Train to Memphis"
"Freight Train" bu Charles McDevitt & Nancy Whisky, many other versions too
"People Get Ready"--my favorite version is the Chambers Brothers
"This Train" by Peter, Paul & Mary; also they do a pretty good version of "500 Miles"
"No Expectations" by the Rolling Stones (well, it's about a train station)
"Homeward Bound" by Simon & Garfunkel

Well, I am certainly biased but have to add Johnny Cash's version of 'The L&N don't stop here anymore".
And speaking of Cash, he was certainly a railfan. CSX's president at the time, Dick Sanborn, gave him a ride from Nashville to Jacksonville on the business cars. He loved it and said when he got off, he really appreciated being able to enjoy the ride and not being asked to sing!

All great selections noted above; and I can't add any more myself.
But here is one that, while not a rail song, is quite appropriate to have playing in your audio device of choice, while ascending a mountain range. That would be Carl Orff's Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi from Carmina Burana.
Oh and if Mr. Marderessian, alias BNSF1088, is to make a cameo appearance around here as well as any other sites at which he played Nostradamus last summer, how about Richard Strauss "Vier Letzie Lieder" (Four Last Songs).

Congratulations, soujourner!!! Big Rock Candy Mountain is indeed the place where they hung the jerk who invented work. Yes, the land of cigarette trees, lakes of stew and of whiskey too. Where the boxcars all are empty, and all the railroad bulls are visually challenged.
As the winner, you will be receiving your prize in the mail soon. Tickets for you and a guest to the Amtrak's Bagpipe and Drum Band's debut performance of Pipes in the Parlour. Wow, isn't that great?
In your list, sojourner, you mentioned Nanci Griffith's Southbound Train . As a fan of sorts of Ms. Griffith, I think she's a closet foamer. Besides the aforementioned song, Desperados Waiting for a Train, Last Train Home, and Morning Train can be found in her discography. In addition, the rails weave through many of her other songs. For example, in Trouble in the Fields "...the bankers swarm like locusts, out there turnin' away our yield; the trains roll by our silo...silver in the rain; they leave our pockets full of nothin', but our dreams and the golden grain."
Ah, the haunting melodies of Nanci Griffith. I think I'll pop one of her records onto my Victrola. Maybe that'll rid my mind of Big Rock Candy Mountain. I've been humming that song for a day or so, and it seems to be getting on my wife's nerves.

OK, You folks might laugh at me for this one, but so be it...
Some parts of ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" always seem to remind of traveling LD Amtrak. I know its more of a romance song, but...
The references to "the pretty birds have flown" offers a comparison to planes, while the recurring message that "I'll be around" implies that once one gets tired of being frustrated with flying, you can always come back to the train!
The background accapella vocals meanwhile are very reminiscent of the clickety clack associated with rail travel.
And as anyone here can probably freely admit, travelling Amtrak's LD network does involve taking some chances!

Orange Blossom Special is another great one, I'll agree. The Hellecasters have a great rock version of it.

All my favorites have been listed so I won't repeat. But the one exception is "I've Been Working on the Railroad". This brings back wonderful memories of Scouting and camping.

Train Lady, you are right! I have a good Pete Seeger version and another by John Denver on one of my train CDs.
And there is also Casey Jones!!!
Zephyr, Big Rock Candy Mountain was a big song for Burl Ives, and many others have done it too. I think my favorite (that I have, anyway) is the one on the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, by a Harry McClintock. I think his recording is from the 1930s or so.

I have always enjoyed Arlo Guthrie's rendition of 'City of New Orleans' and most anything from Gordon Lightfoot. One that has not been mentioned yet is a tune called 'Steel Rails' recorded by Allison Kraus and her band, Union Station.

Sojourner - WOW!! Great list of train tunes!!! I bet you don't know these two though:
"Texas 1947" by Guy Clark (also recorded by Johnny Cash, I believe) "Train to Nowhere" by Tom Fogerty (in his post-CCR days)
Also -- last year (2005 -- sorry, I mean 2 years ago), at Jimmy Buffett's famous concert at Wrigley Field, he and Mac MacAnally sang "The City of New Orleans" -- pretty good version of it!
Of course, the best train song of all times (in my opinion) has got to be "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" by Lightfoot!

I saw Arlo here in Santa Fe and he sang "The City of New Orleans." Brought the house down.
I just thought of another one. "Rhapsody in Blue," George Gershwin. Really. He wrote the original sketches on a train between Boston and New York and you can hear the clickety-clack of the rails.

That song, which is essentially an old mountain gospel hymn, is great. I last heard it in February 2005 at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. They were screening some vintage footage shot during the 1930's and 40's of the old East Tennessee and Western North Carolina (aka 'Tweetsie') narrow gauge.

I'm not aware of any train songs that can be played on the bagpipe, but I'll ask my daughter! LOL
And listening to "City of New Orleans" on my iPod on the Empire Builder is my idea of a fun thing to do. I just have to watch the karaoke effect my iPod seems to inspire. . . .

Ironic, Mr. Kiernan, insomuch as United Airlines, along with a most impressive "voice over' by actor Gene Hackman, used such throughout the '90's as their broadcast media ad theme.
However, a United Flight Attendant client once told me that they realized they were no longer providing the passenger service, both ground and in-flight, that 'soaring' music evoked and dropped the theme in favor of some 'half cocked' (her thoughts) theme of "Rising'. That to this Attendant, meant maybe they would "rise' again to the level of in-flight service they offered back when she hired on.

Mr. Norman, I remember when United started using "Rhapsody." It was the day after the fiftieth anniversary of George Gershwin's death when it became public domain and they didn't have to pay royalties.

When you have this chat with your daughter, would you please ask her if she knows of any recorded bagpipe renditions of Big Rock Candy Mountain. Ideally with Rosie O'Donnell on vocals. Wow, could anything be better than that?

RRRich, glad you liked the list. And you are half right; I don't know the Guy Clark song and nor the Johnny Cash version, though I thought one time or another I'd listened to all Johnny Cash's stuff, at least from the library. I will look into it.
I do know the Fogarty song, though I don't remember it well (I don't own it), so I'll hunt it down again.
DavidP, how could I forget Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad? I have the Patsy Cline version and one by Johnny Cash and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their second Will the Circle Be Unbroken.. . . It goes really well with This Train by Peter Paul and Mary and People Get Ready by the Chambers Brothers, also gospel songs that use the train as metaphor for going to heaven. And come to think of it, Rock Island Line.

Sojourner - here are the lyrics to the Guy Clark song "Texas 1947" -- it is actually more of a "recitative" and the words are more spoken than sung (except for the chorus) -- I'm sure you've heard it somewhere.......
Now bein' six years old, I had seen some trains before, so it's hard to figure out what I'm at the depot for.
Trains are big and black and smokin' - steam screamin' at the wheels, bigger than anything they is, at least that's the way she feels
Trains are big and black and smokin', louder'n July four, but everybody's actin' like this might be somethin' more. . .
. . .than just pickin' up the mail, or the soldiers from the war. This is somethin' that even old man Wileman never seen before.
And it's late afternoon on a hot Texas day. somethin' strange is goin' on, and we's all in the way.
Well there's fifty or sixty people they're just sittin' on their cars, and the old men left their dominos and they come down from the bars.
Everybody's checkin', old Jack Kittrel check his watch, and us kids put our ears to the rails to hear 'em pop.
So we already knowed it, when they finally said 'train time' you'd a-thought that Jesus Christ his-self was rollin' down the line.
'Cause things got real quiet, momma jerked me back, But not before I'd got the chance to lay a nickel on the track.
Chorus Look out here she comes, she's comin', Look out there she goes, she's gone, screamin' straight through Texas like a mad *** cyclone.
Big, red, and silver, she don't make no smoke, she's a fast-rollin' streamline come to show the folks.
Look out here she comes, she's comin' Look out there she goes, she's gone, screamin' straight through Texas like a mad *** cyclone.
. . .Lord, she never even stopped.
She left fifty or sixty people still sittin' on their cars, and they're wonderin' what it's comin' to and how it got this far.
Oh but me I got a nickel smashed flatter than a dime by a mad ***, runaway red-silver streamline. . . train
Chorus
NOTE: "***" is Train Web-ease for a...canine!

Sojourner - since I'm on a roll now, here are the lyrics to "Train to Nowhere" by Tom Fogerty: (it's on the 1970-sometime album entitled "Tom Fogerty")
Train To Nowhere
I'm leavin' on the railroad, I'm goin' down the line I'm leavin' on the railroad, I'm goin' down the line Don't wanna take your payload, I ain't got no time
I'm leavin' on the hour of the midnight sun I'm leavin' on the hour of the midnight sun Gonna take my powder, gonna take my gun
(x2): Stop messin' with me, mama, stop messin' with my brain Stop fussin' with me, mama 'Cause I gotta catch that train, catch that train, catch that train I'll catch the train to nowhere, still goin' down the line I'll catch the train to nowhere, still goin' down the line I gotta catch that train oh, or I may lose my mind
I gotta catch that train oh, or I may lose my mind (x2)

(Seriously) - I was a music major and the semester we programmed Carmina Burina with the symphonic band is one I fondly remember. Seems like we also did the 1812 Overture that year. Good times to be a brass player!

Well, there have been a lot of good tunes nominated here, but as a former trackman, I've always been partial to Leadbelly's "Linin' Track". It's a chant, rather than a song, and it goes like this (in part):
Linin' track, linin' track, All I know about linin' track Is this old man's gonna break my back...
Anybody who's lined track by hand (and I have) can really feel the memories in his muscles while listening to this one.

America did two great songs "Sleeper Train" and "From A Moving Train". Both capture the feeling of being on board. Several of their other songs refernce trains; I suspect they are secret railfans. Another good one not mentioned here is "Silver Thread" which was produced for a video about the California Zephyr. "Polar Express" also is a good new addition.
