I was just joking with a friend that I have no idea how he took so long to be diagnosed with autism when he has a playlist dedicated to songs about trains; he made this playlist after randomly having 3 songs about trains come on in a row when he put his music on shuffle, and decided to start collecting them in a playlist. There aren’t too many on there at the moment, and he’d like to collect more, if anyone has any suggestions.
I will share the resulting playlist on here afterwards as either an edit to this post, or a comment reply. If you want to be pinged about this, let me know in your comment, and I’ll make sure you receive a link to the playlist.
Bonus question: if you’re autistic, what are your opinions on trains? I’m personally ambivalent about trains, but they also feel like they’re my culture, because of how many of my fellow autistic nerds like trains.
Can’t believe that no one has mentioned this one yet…
Arlo Guthrie - City of New Orleans
Ah well. Ijust posted this song too before scrolling the thread. One of my favorite songs of all time.
“No one”? 'm a little hurt… :)
Granted, I mainly heard the John Denver cover so that’s what I listed.
It was written by Steve Goodman. Arlo Guthrie was like the first person to cover it, and he sort of helped popularize it. It is a folk song so it’s meant to be passed around. With that said, I don’t know if it really matters which version people post or even who it’s attributed to really.
