It doesn't have to have the word "train," if it's clearly about a train.

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

-----------
Passin' trains that have no names
Freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
"City of New Orleans"
The devil is driving that long black train.
Josh Turner
I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
Folsom Prison, Johnny Cash
Woops! How hasty of me...
Runaway train, never comin' back. Wrong way on a one-way track.
Runaway Train, Soul Asylum
Ridin' on that new river train
The same ol' train that brought me here
Gonna carry me home again
~bluegrass/traditional
Sweet! "New River Train" is one of the first songs I ever learned when I was tiny.
Rockin' rollin' ridin'
Out along the Bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away
Trains a comin'
It'll be here fore too long
But I don't think I can stop it with a song
Dierks Bentley
It made big news across the nation
The bridal train leaves from Perth station
"Bridal train" ~ the Waifs
I've been workin on the railroad
All the livelong day
Do ya hear that whistle down the line?
I'm thinking that it's engine #49
She's the only one that can sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
(Harry Warren/Johnny Mercer)
Oh mother dear, I cannot tell
It's that railroad boy I love so well
He's courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay
(a ballad)
Freight train, freight train
Run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know what route I've gone
~Elizabeth Cotten
drivin' that train,
high on cocaine,
Casey Jones is ready,
watch your speed
Grateful Dead
He's leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
Out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train,
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again
~Cat Stevens
(I could go on and on. I've always loved train songs :)
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
She's just a small town girl,
Livin' in a lonely world,
She took the midnight train going anywhere.
---Journey
She's a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her days on the train
Jerry Jeff Walker/Jimmy Buffett
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
...
This train is bound for glory, this train
I want to hop on the last train in the station
Won't need to get yourself prepared
'Cause if you got your ticket on that last train to glory
You'll know you're reasonably there
~Arlo Guthrie
Take the last train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the station
The Monkees
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
(Paul Simon)
You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
(Duke Ellington/Joya Sherrill)
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies

Train kept a rollin' all night long.
With a heave, and ho,
But I just couldn't tell her so, No, No, No!

On a train bound for nowhere

Rolling on down the track

Join hands
Start a love train, a love train

I'm the man that put the engine in the chip shop
And wherever I go me legend follows me
And as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
I know I've made me mark on history
I'm the Man That Put the Engine in the Chip Shop -- Dave Goulder
