Train Train - Blackfoot

Marakesh Express - CSN&Y

And of course my train song, Catch the Night Train, posted as "Last Train" (momentary lapse of sanity) on my profile. It's the best one, of course... :D

Dylan - "It takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train to Cry".

Seatrain - "Orange Blossom Special". (A hundred other people have done this too).

Gene Clark (The Dillard & Clark Expedition) - "A Train Leaves here This Morning"

Jerry Jeff Walker? - "The City Of New Orleans"

Howling Wolf - "Smoke Stack Lightening" (Might be a stretch as a train song).

This is easy, just go through Woodie Guthrie's catalog.

Dessalines - City of New Orleans was written by Arlo Guthrie, not Jerry Jeff Walker. One of Walker's best was Mr Bojangles, not a train song but a good oone...
