all aboard, Fav Train songs
will Martina's personal train have a sound system, loaded with songs about Trains?
who knows...
but here are some of my fav's
6) Do the Locomotion - Little Eva
Always a fun, Wedding standard
5) Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips
4) Train Kept A Rollin' - The Yardbirds version
3) Rock 'n Roll Train- AC/DC
although the words, "Rock 'n Roll" are never sung, the band changed the title, since Tom Petty already had a song title, "Runaway Train"
2) Orange Blossom Special - original, Bill Monroe
always a fan-favorite request at any Bluegrass show that I've attended.
And it's a real treat to hear a great "fiddle" player take-off on this song.
1) Train - The Clarks
out of the 500 songs, that I always say "man, I wish I could hear Martina sing this one," this song is at the top of the list. Martina would knock-this out of the park. It's a nostalgic song, ala Jamey Johnson's "In Color", with a simple acoustic guitar arrangement and a sweet melody...

Resident rock chick here loves this classic! So many great covers of this song. Just found out that this song goes back to 1951, but was not recorded as a rock version until 1956.
This is the orginal 1951 version.

Re: all aboard, Fav Train songs
"Downtown Train" was originally released by Tom Waits but made popular by Rod Stewart.
Rod Stewart's version. Not bad at all.
