Don't know how to embed video but Small Bones by Courteeners has a line about Virgin Pendolinos, and Yesterday, Today and Probably Tomorrow by the same band features some general background noise from Euston/Piccadilly towards the end, along with a line about meeting a girl off a train.

Funmoments.nl’s remix of NS is quite fun:
Also, these two German songs:
Sonderzug nach Pankow (special service to Pankow) by Udo Lindenberg
Es fährt ein Zug nach Nirgendwo (there is a train to nowhere) by Christian Anders

Does Dutch singer-songwriter Guus Meeuwis' "Per Spoor" count? Or is this too much? :D

(Video of Guus Meeuwis singing about the journey to see his girlfriend, with a lot of footage shot on Dutch trains and platforms in the mid-90's)

Whilst it doesn't specifically reference trains, Runrig's Going Home is all about travelling back to Skye on the West Highland Line and one of my all time fav songs
