The Orange Blossom Special
In keeping with the original question,I offer the following;
I Want To Take you Higher - Sly and The Family Stone version only.
Listen closely and you can hear the mighty Y6 and Class A slugging it out up Blue Ridge. If you listen closely enough you can even hear the valve gear working, the whistle and safety valve popping off.
Welcome To The Pleasuredome - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
The Animals are winding me up! Good cadence for any steam train.
When Two Gods Go To War - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
I can invision a match race where an N&W Class A is kicking a UP Challenger butt.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard that song. I was in Mojave watching the Trona train comming off the Jawbone. After I saw the video I often wondered if it was filmed on the Jawbone. It looks like it could have been. Wouldn’t that be a heck of a coincidence.

Hear my train a comin’ (the great Jimi)

Rhonda Vincent 's recording of “Passing of the Train” is directly related to railroading towns.
Sarah McLachlan’s “Sweet Surrender” is the right intensity for driving to and waiting for an approaching freight with a camera ready to shoot.
Jewel’s “Down So Long” is appropriate for watching railroad action because of the tempo of the song and the lyrics.
