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.
FSK “Hobo Zwiefacher” from their album “The Sound of Music”
Song is in German. On the CD (unfortunately missing on YouTube) there’s a little intro in English describing that a Zwiefacher is a Bavarian song style featuring two different topics mixed together, then says, “This is our Zwiefacher, about incest and trains.”
Edit: also the opening scene from The Music Man is about trains in a very unusual way
