Take the A Train (composed by Billy Strayhorn and as performed by Duke Ellington

City of New Orleans by Steve Goodman (Trains Magazine had a very nice article about the composer and song last year)

9 to 5 (Morning Train) by Sheena Easton
When I lived in Milwaukee in 1981, I'd take the morning train (Amtrak's North Star) to Chicago. Upon arriving in Chicago, I'd walk a couple of blocks from Chicago Union Station to the Northwestern Terminal to watch the morning commuter trains (some of which had F or E units). 9 - 5 would go through my head when watching the commuters exit their trains on their way to work.
The video for this song has to be one of the most "railroady" music videos ever made:
