The Top 20 Railroad Songs of All Time looks at songs from the 19th and 20th century, in England and America, and attempts to rank them from #20 to #1.

And do you really want to be in a locomotive cab where your front will bake and your rear will freeze? Over the years, accidents have occurred on the railways and to prevent a reoccurrence, rules have been made. Do you know them?
