List of train songs

This article is about the genre train list of songs. For the band, see List of Train (band) songs.

A train song is a song referencing freight and passenger trains or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the Blues, Country and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in alphabetical order. The songs have appeared on commercially released albums and singles and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, do not qualify as train songs (for example, "Train In Vain" by The Clash), nor do songs where trains are mentioned but only in passing (for example, Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain").
