My favourite train-themed song is Bob Delyn's rather wonderful Tren bach y sgwarnogod - "the little train of the hares".

Bob Delyn?

Turning signalling into a video game since 1988.

Just in case there are any signallers on here who use ARS^▸ (Automatic Route Setting); this performs a function called "ACI" - Automatic Code Insertion. This updates the train's headcode (or TD) when it terminates.

M People: "Search for the hero" contains the line "A train arrives but never leaves". Which immediately makes me think that the ACI isn't working.

Edward Elgar also loved trains. He apparently used to annoy his students at the Royal College of Music by telling them all about the engine that had brought him up from Worcester. I have always thought that his Introduction and Allegro for strings reminded me of travelling on a train.

Someone else obviously thought the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2gyP_yKqo

Though not as good as the pictures in my mind
