Trans Europe Express via OMD's Locomotion, perhaps.
lyrics
You won't see it in your lifetime
They'll never let you take that train
You won't glide this land in comfort
In sun or wind or rain
The Trans US Express
Now you can pack 'em in a tin can
Squeeze 'em through the sky
But if you wanna ride the big iron
Well your chance has passed you by
The Trans US Express
Now don't you ask this question on Capitol Hill
Security theater, political will
The lure of the highway, the oil in the ground
The greed of the markets have slowed us all down
So if you're hip to taking rail trips
You're gonna have to wait
Til there's profit to be made again
Moving human freight
