Yep! That's the title of the song recorded by "The Band". Good song!
In addition to a lot of the favorites above, I like "Orange blossom Special" as one of the classics along with Johnny Cash doing "Rock Island Line" and "This Train" by the Blue Sky Boys. More modern hits for me include "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens, "People Get Ready" with Rod Stewart (a model railroader, by the way), the fun bluesy "If Love Were A Train" by Michelle Shocked, "Steel Rails" by Alison Krauss, the humorous "My Baby Thinks he's a Train" by Rosanne Cash, a very soulful "The Blue Train" with Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton, and Boxcar Willie's "Hobo Heaven".
