Benutzer:Liesel/Eisenbahnmusik

Die "'Liste von Musikstücken mit einem Bezug zur Eisenbahn'" enthält verschiedenste Musikwerke die einen Bezug zum Schienenverkehr besitzen.

Das älteste bekannte Musikstück entstand zwei Jahre bevor die erste öffentliche Eisenbahn in den Vereinigten Staaten den Betrieb aufnahm. Das Stück The Carrollton March vom 1. Juli 1828, komponiert von Arthur Clifton, erinnert an die Grundsteinlegung der Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Ein weiteres Musikstück, das zu diesem Anlass entstand, war der Rail Road March von Charles Meineke, das zwei Tage später urheberrechtlich geschützt wurde. Seitdem ist die Anzahl von Musikstücken in einer solchen Fülle angewachsen, dass eine umfassende Dokumentation und Einordnung nahezu unmöglich ist. Im englischen Sprachgebrauch hat sich die Bezeichnung "train song" für Lieder eingebürgert, die sich im Speziellen mit Personen- und Güterzügen beschäftigen. Züge und Eisenbahn sind ein Thema in der klassischen und der Pop-Musik seit der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Über die Jahre wurden in nahezu allen Musikgenres, wie Folk, Blues, Country, Rock'n Roll, Jazz, Avant-Garde, entsprechende Stücke geschrieben und produziert. Obwohl die Bedeutung der Eisenbahn in den letzten Jahrzehnten zurückging, blieb der Zug ein Standardbild in den populären Liedern.

Die folgende Liste von Musikstücken von Künstlern aus der ganzen Welt ist alphabetisch nach dem Musikstück geordnet. Neben Titeln, die auf Alben und Singles veröffentlicht wurden und durch ihre Komponisten und Interpreten bekannt sind, enthält die Liste auch Werke, die auf Wachsrollen aufgenommen oder mittels Liedzettel und Notenblätter veröffentlicht wurden.

In diese Liste sind Werke aufgenommen, in denen Züge, Lokomotiven oder verwandte Fahrzeuge (Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen) prominent im Text oder musikalisch (Melodie, Rhythmus) gewürdigt werden. Werke, bei denen Züge oder dergleichen nur nebenbei erwähnt werden, sind nicht berücksichtigt.
