* The song "There's Me", sung by C.B to Dinah. The fact that C.B (who later would be revealed as a [[AxCrazy psychotic serial killer who crashes trains for simple enjoyment)]] cares so much about Dinah and can't bear to see her so heartbroken is probably one of the sweeter things in the musical.
* As well as being the titular song of the show, 'Starlight Express' is heartwarming, accounting for the fact that Rusty seems so content when he's singing about his inspiration. Even more so in 'I Am The Starlight', which in some productions has the wonderful addition of (the actor who plays) Poppa holding Rusty's hands in his as he comes to the realisation that''he'' is the train he's been wishing for all this time.
