Not a huge Elvis fan, but I love his version of Mystery Train. Oh, and because I had to listen to it a million times when my son was younger, the Thomas theme song is embedded in my brain.
I actually really love Goldfrapp's "Train" from 2003's Black Cherry.
But as for the ones you have, I love Ryan Adams' and Arcade Fire's.
God is that a cute pic of Lil' Duke!!! He looks like the real deal!!!

i'm going to have to go w/ Mike Doughty's "Thank You Lord for Sending the F Train."
That's some good stuff right there.
There's a song in spanish from 1974 called "Bienvenidos al Tren" (Welcome to the train).
By old argie band Sui Generis.
Kind of bluesy.
