A train song is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/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, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by The Clash. Songs by the band Train are also not included).
This list was originally compiled and edited by Wes Modes, then expanded.
