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.

Orient Express

Edit seems to only instrumental.

I only know the Finnish version originally

Pikajuna Meksikon

Edit 2 here are the translated lyrics (i didn't bother checking so it's ai translate)

Verse 1]

The express train is speeding through Mexico, it's already night The spotlights sweep the shiny track The barking of a coyote is heard, fading into the noise of the locomotive

Behind the Sierra Madre, the moon is bulging like cheese

The atmosphere in the first-class carriage is sleepy. Passengers, men, women, everyone is dozing. Then the pace slows down and almost stops. What could be the reason for the stop?

Verse 2]

The brakes squeal on the wheels, the carriage door opens. Two men rush in, talking dirty. Little Pete, Big Pat, both gangsters. Both of them are brandishing large crowbars.

"Hands up, gentlemen!" shouts a sharp command

Big Pat and shoots at the ceiling a couple of times:

"It would be wise for everyone to open their wallets now

"Listen to the one who is wearing shoes"

[Verse 3]

No one can resist, Little Pete guards Big Pat while he evacuates with his fingers the most accustomed Rings and purses, medallions, wallets

The robber also searches the suitcases alone. Nothing is left for the victims, the prey exceeds their hopes. Little Pete hisses at the top of his lungs: "Men are beaten to a pulp, but women are taken away."

"I can't be without my beloved now."

[Verse 4]

A rumbling laugh rings out, Big Pat now echoes his Partner's words and soon grunts: "Okay, that's what we'll do, we'll have a decent harem."

"Let's take the dirt to a hidden cave behind the Sierra Madre"

Then from the trap of the carriage, from among the gentlemen

Hidalgo now steps forward, says: "Señores, do whatever you want to us, but spare the women, otherwise you will have a bad memory."

[Verse 5]

A moment of silence follows, the suggestion is strange, new

Ha, now there's a commotion in the women's group too. An old maid, now, fifty years old, demands the floor and immediately gets it. Her eyes blazing with anger, she jumps on her feet and begins to vent her anger at Hidalgo:

"What is the gentleman talking about and fussing about? Let's do as the bandits order."

Huh-hah-heija, we'll do as the bandits order

Edit 3 i feel like there were more of those in the song than in tje lyrics page I looked at
