I hadn't heard of this site until Joshua posted the link for the Polish steam event, but there are many music videos there - not the awful MTV kind, but things like live 1950s TV performances of Johnny Cash on Tex Ritter's Hollywood Ranch Party and the old Town Hall Party, which came from Compton, California. Some rare stuff I thought I'd never see again. There is a search feature that works well and the videos load fast. Off-topic, of course, but you can probably find a train song in there somewhere. Some great local talent also, like these two kids who are great at imitating Jerry Lee Lewis' piano playing.

..... which was posted on here a while back, is the theme music to the 1996 Bollywood musical/thriller, "Dil Se":

As I said the first time we posted this, just try to imagine if a Hollywood, TV, or music video film crew came to YOUR excursion line/Museum and proposed filming this video..... including all the crane shots, etc. All the research I've done into this film indicates it was indeed filmed with the stars and actors, with NO trick photography, stunt doubles, or safety harnesses! I finally bought the DVD, and every film student, director, etc. to which I've shown this segment has been flabbergasted to the point of jaws crashing to the ground at it.

It helps to put it in a bit of context that, compared to other "Bollywood" (India movie industry) films of the era, this was the equivalent of a James Bond thriller in impact and spectacle; among other things, this was reportedly the first time electronic music had been used as the music for a major India movie feature. The film, however, had mixed cinematic success in INdia and abroad, not quite living up to its hype and promise.

Oh yes, this is a FUN website! I'll see your Johnny Cash and raise you one-the Doobie Brothers and "Long Train Running"-a blend of 1970s and current video, with lots of steam and diesel shots:
