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.

Night train to Mundo Fine Night train to the end Running hard and running fast To meet my future and away from my past Taking that gamble that cannot last Night train to the eeeeeend! Hell’s ride to Mundo Fine Hell’s ride to the end Sold my soul to the devil’s men He draws me hard with a merciless hand And all I bought is a handful of sand Night train to the eeeeeeend! I’m on this ride ’cause I have no pride In myself, or in men, or in God! Now if you want to share in the price of my fare Then fill your mind with greed that is blind And wander in its evil fog Night train to Mundo Fine Night train to the end Running hard and running fast To meet my future and away from my past Taking the gamble that cannot last Night train to the eeeeeend!https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PGjJjrjTlNY
