Default Favorite Train Song
Like the title says, what are your favorites?
It will be interesting to see what is posted, and maybe more interesting to see what's left out. I'll start out with some older songs.

Waiting on a Train - Jimmie Rodgers
Midnight Special - Leadbelly
Folsum Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Hobo's Lullaby - Arlo Guthrie

Panama Limited; Tom Rush

I know it's not his song, but he's the only person I know of who can play it.

Does anyone here play it?

Also check out the entire album of train songs done by Billy Bragg and Joe Henry; the entire album done as they crossed the country by rail.
