while driving home and listening to bruce springsteen, the husband and i were inspired to list all the songs that reference trains we can think of. can you think of any others?
to keep the list from becoming unweildy, no country songs, please… i mean, it would be easier to start a list of country songs that don’t reference trains.

- Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash
- Don’t Stop Believin’, Journey
