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.
