I know of at least three different time signatures for famous “train based” songs.
Solve this one: “Down around the corner, Half a mile from here, You see them long trains runnin’ And you watch them disappear. Without love Where would you be now?”
Walmart Tee-shirt?
3/4 time … Can you train your engineer to do a waltz?
I can’t think of anything a steam (or diesel) locomotive does in threes. I think Frazz is completely off the mark on this.
And I’d let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.
One of the essentials of county music.

Why on earth would you do a train song in three-quarter time? I can’t thing of anything more determinedly 2/4 than the sound of a train.
