Oldrk - don't know if you're a bluegrass fan, but The Dillards (known better as the Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show) have a couple songs that are just perfect for train chasing and train videos.
Off their CD "The Dillards a long time ago" recorded live in 1962:
John Hardy (originally a song about a mining town and the hanging of John Hardy...)
Banjo In The Hollow
Cannonball Blues
Whitehouse Blues
Of course there are a lot of railroad folk and bluegrass songs, but these four are all on one CD an really good.
Of course old rock and rollers like "Train Kept A-Rollin" which was made famous by Aerosmith but was actually first made popular by The Yardbirds. In the 1966 movie Blowup - Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin is playing it with the Yardbirds...

 

Thanks Tim. Will keep those in mind for future videos.

 

Didn't need to search for the answer.I grew up hearing songs by Jimmy Rodgers "The Singing Brakeman"; 'Orange Blossom Special', 'Wabash Cannonball' 'City of New Orleans'
&c. Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock. Plus a lot of songs we sang in school. But, Oldrk, who sang a song about the Canadian Pacific?

Uhhhh.... Was it, uh..... Neil Young?

Hank Snow.
My all-time favorite though, is from 1969:
'It's a great-big rolling riptrack...'
