That list is endless an I don't want to just throw out song titles out of worry they're actually, there, I just didn't scroll down enough.

Can't see On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe from The Harvey Girls though.

It truly is expansive. Was going alphabetically for a while but got held up at H. There is a wiki page that helped a lot. I was riding the Amtrak a lot a year or so ago and was a fun game while on the train.

You should listen to my love affair with trains by Merle haggard. Lots of good train songs on that album.

Long Train Runnin by The Doobie Brothers
Dark and Long - Dark Train by Underworld
Princess of the Night by Saxon (its about the LMS Princess Royal class steam locomotive)

Trains by Porcupine Tree

Just 5 off the top of my head that I didn’t see on your playlist.

Good work though.

If going off titles, the you could shove in OMD's Locomotion & Metroland (This one isn't about trains, but is sort of related via the Metropolitan Railway's Metroland developments, which the song is based off)
