What was that rolling train song?

Name that song: CW, popular around the same time as Some Fools Never Learn, based on images of trains, running on the same track or something similar. Thanks!

The two that came to mind for me are "Downtown Train" by Tom Waits (popularized by Rod Stewart) and "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum.

Response by poster: None of these, thanks; enjoyed listening, though. My missing song had male voices, probably a duo, lots of hot guitar (that's what I'm trying to get to, btw) the story was impending infidelity train-wreck, IIRC, and it was in heavy rotation, no doubt a top-10 or so single along with, or same year as, that Steve W song…

Not infidelity-based, but The Highwaymen released "Desperadoes Waiting for a Train" that year. Skim here to see if anything catches your eye.
