@Lady This is a personal failing and shouldn't drive any actions or emotions in other people I am uncomfortable with the idea that I might be in the same poll-bucket next to someone who only had a single train song growing up. Like, people have all sorts of histories and experiences, but what would such a childhood be LIKE--!?
@Lady unfortunately https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_train_songs fails to differentiate between songs about riding trains or otherwise discussing them
@lydiaschoch It was probably a typo, but now I *really* want to see something get "crowsourced" @Lady @joybooster

@Lady (If you say "... ignoring that one"?)
Is "He Was My Brother" A Bus Song.
I can think of that and "America" and... I feel like if I stretched I'd think of more, but not off the top of my head.
@gaditb my favourite bus song is https://bluescholars.bandcamp.com/track/joe-metro but i was an adult before i listened to it
Riding on The City of New Orleans
Illinios central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
@Satsuma I'm noticing most of the train songs I knew (as a kid) on that Wikipedia list are metaphorical - maybe I should have joined the tiny minority and voted no!
... Midnight train to Georgia? (Did I ever hear Wabash Cannonball as a kid? Maybe? I was kinda musically deprived as a kid.)
@Lady @Satsuma Since we're talking about songs heard as children, I was such an autistic child that I almost certainly pictured all these trains literally. I was hearing songs about riding trains! Even if they were not actually.
The Peace Train then is obviously the train you get on when you need to go to somewhere peaceful. It might have like, a CareBears vibe.
i would make a followup poll about busses but “The Wheels On The Bus” is too popular
