I'm sure this topic has come up before, but there is an indelible link between railroads and music. 
Be they old track layer tunes, songs of people far from home, or songs from railroad advertisements, I was wondering what everyone's favorite railroad or train-related songs are?
Personally, my favorites are a tie between "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash, and the eerie and nostalgic, yet amazing "City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie. Anyone else? :?:
not to mention the 5 different versions of "Wreck of the Old 97" I have. :mrgreen:
