This Train Don't Stop There Anymore

"This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" is a song written by British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, performed by John. It is from John's 2001 album Songs from the West Coast. The song's lyrics detail John's fame being over and his coming to terms with getting older but still touring and performing around the world. It was released as the second single from the album and reached No. 24 in the UK singles chart and was a Top 10 Adult Contemporary chart hit in the US. The song reached No. 83 in the Netherlands.

The arrangement of the song was simple, a throwback to John's early piano-bass-drums combination prior to the arrival of guitarist Davey Johnstone to his band. John played this song and "American Triangle" on his concerts months before the album's release and at the Songs from the West Coast Tour in 2001–2002. After the tour ended, John performed this song on various locations until 2004.
