There is also a recording of The Hole in the Hill by Fiona Shaffery of Inchbonnie, about the nearby Otira Tunnel connecting the West Coast to Christchurch. I have a copy of the recording (by Rod Derrett), but I haven't transcribed it yet.

And The Night Train to Waiuku was recorded by Murray Grindley in 1977 and covered by Mike Harding in 2000.

The KB Cannonball - Phil Garland collected this

The Kingston Flier by Dusty Spittle 1970s

The A-Class Tinwald Flier by Garner Wayne

Railway Bill, collected by Neil Colquhoun, in Songs of a Young Country.

There is a record track called Harry the Fell Engine, written and read by Merv Smith in 1960. This is not a song but a story.

And New Zealand folk singer (and circus hand and hypnotist!) Tex Morton wrote the famous Sergeant Small, about a Queensland railway cop who punched him when he was riding a goods train in the 1930s.

Riding down from Queensland on a dirty timber train,
We stopped to take on water in the early morning rain,

I saw a hobo coming by, he didn't show much fear,
He walked along the line of trucks, saying any room in here.

Then I pulled the cover back saying throw your blankets in,
He dropped his billy and his roll and socked me on the chin.

        Chorus
                I wish that I was fourteen stone and I was six feet tall,
                I'd take a special trip up north, to beat up Sergeant Small.

He took me to the gaolhouse, he got me in the cells,
I realised then who he was, it was not hard to tell.

I've worked for Jimmy Sharman, and at fighting I'm no dunce,
But let me see the fellow who can take on five at once..
