Well for the single guys Elvis' "Mystery Train" might be.

(words & music by h. parker - s. philips)

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone

Train train, comin round, round the bend
Train train, comin round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again (no, not again)

Train train, comin down, down the line
Train train, comin down the line
Well its bringin my baby, cause shes mine all, all mine
(shes mine, all, all mine)


I can't believe that NO ONE said: "Wabash Cannonball"

train kept a rollin' Aerosmith
Train Kept A -Rollin' was done by Tiny Bradshaw in the early 50's Aerosmith remade it.
Areosmith was good at taking old R&B song's and remaking them in there own style.
Walkin' The Dog on there 1973 release was a RUFUS THOMAS song.

Lonesome Whistle - Hank Snow. I always liked that one, though I haven't heard it in 20 years.

the gambler was a good one

every hands a winner
and every hands a loser
and the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep
city of new orleans and the folsom prison song are my fav's so far.

City of New Orleans...I used to play that one quite a bit when I was more into Folk than Bluegrass...haven't done it in years tho, but I can probably still remember all the lyrics.

Seems like every other Bluegrass song is a train song, or at least has some mention of a train in it. Wabash Cannonball and Orange Blossom Special are probably two of the best known but some others that come to mind are:

Blue and Lonesome
New River Train
Glendale Train
Last Train from Poor Valley (By Norman Blake, one of my favorites)
Roll in my Sweet Baby's arms
Railroad Bill
Signal Light & Wreck of the Number Nine, a couple of tunes that Doc Watson did

There a many more of course, but these are some of my favorites.

David Allen Coe's "The Ride" wasn't a train song.

"You don't have to call me Darling" is the song you're referring to...but I'm not sure that really qualifies as a train song either.
