Rhombus: 4472 (itunes link)

off their new album, "open the sky" (itunes link)



a song about the flying scotsman?!?



any others? even geekier than rhombus' effort?

Slow day Barry?

yep

The classic Biccies interpretation of 'Time flies by when you're the driver of a train' on Back in the DHSS. Do songs about train drivers count?

I think it's fair to say that's it's not only about trains. The Flying Scotsman isn't white.

Specific trains or just trains in general
What about ones that are:
in Vain - The Clash
(at)Night - some Dub Syndicate thingy
(joining in with a )Love - The O'Jays
(you coulod take the ) A train - Charlie Mingus


Or

Marrakesh Express - Crosby, Stills and whatsit

but you may be on a loser because

Pardon me Boss, is that the Chatanooga Choo-choo



The runaway train came down the track and she blew WHOO WOO



Look what you started now, I'll be here all bloody day

Does Folsom Prison Blues count?

in general is good, but if there are specific ones that's even better

You've only just noticed, Boss? Shame on you, a Heartland band and all!

How could I forget - Locomotive by Motorhead

Of all the days...

sh*t, yeah. i just spotted that a minute ago

hope all our belgian HL'ers are ok.

ex members of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band

Last train to transcentral - KLF

Sad news about the train crash in Belgium

I wondered about KLF, but then figured it's not train-specific so lacks geeky-points.

Johnny Cash's "Hey Porter" - I thought it was about a bloke singing to his beer, but apparently not.

It's about a train that's going to Transcentral. What more does it need to qualify?

Don't think any of us commute on that part of the railway so they probably all are

A colleague of mine wasn't so lucky though, pregnant with three months to go and broke her pelvis in the accident Luckily the kid appears to be okay.

Good God. Please convey all our sympathies and best wishes. I travel VERY frequently on trains, and can just about imagine how horrific it must be to crash in one...

Trans-Europe Express

I love songs about trains *shuffles off to put on anorak*
