Saxon's Princess of the Night is about a decommissioned train.

Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
You can take a tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger... on the other hand, the tiger can't step into the same river twice because other waters are always flowing on to it. Yeah.

hmmm...not only the songs about trains but just trains themselves.
my transport when travelling far and also to get to a'dam.
i love long trips on trains...the further south you go here, the more elegant our trains get. the people on trains are the best to watch.
the sound off, replaced with own music in your ears and just watching outside, water, book in bag. the most relaxing adventure always.
except in summer months with loud mouthed tourists!

I like trains and I like iLiKETRAiNs ... ... great sound ...
been living near a shunt yard for more than 25 years, very nice all the wagons in the morning,
in dust, in mist, in haze, in sunshine, in rain and snow ... I've loved that ... They built a block
of flats around me in the late 90ies. Since then I'm mured ... so of course, I like Runaway Train ... ...
... never liked Locomotive Breathe all that much. Rather preferred Motörhead's Locomotive ...
or this one ... ... really v e r y nice ... just to my taste ... ... http://sisterswiki.org/Feel_No_Pain
though I do think, it is or should be Speed Jesus rather than Sweet Jesus
oh and I reallly like Giorgio De Chirico, he often used little trains in his paintings ...

this little thread back on track!
Eureka Machines ~ The light at the end of the tunnel!
As the lyrics go....
cause the light at the end of the tunnel
is the light of an oncoming train!
ain't that true! so we get hit by that train and when the sunshine comes, look for that clover and then put on shades and hit the trip on the train again!
oh why not?
