** 'Coda of Freight'' has a few awesome moments. Rusty's growing confidence, the polyphony building up towards the coda, the massive chorus belting out 'Freight' near the end... but arguably most awesome of all, this lyric that builds up with it:
---> '''Rusty:''' Earth, water, earth, fire, see the steam ''rise higher!''

** 'Rolling Stock' and 'Pumping Iron'- Greaseball's most prominent numbers- are filled with powerful instruments, vocals to ''die'' for, and a truly awesome presence that puts a lot of the other songs to shame. ''Especially'' with the guitar riff at the beginning of the original 'Rolling Stock'.

* Rolling Stock, introducing the incredibly awesome Greaseball ''and'' all of the other champion engines he'll be racing with in true [[TheEighties 80's]] rock fashion.

to:

* Rolling Stock, introducing For starters, the incredibly costumes and set design alone are some of the most awesome things Starlight Express ''has.''
*
Greaseball and Electra were practically designed to be as awesome as possible, to contrast with small and homely Rusty.
* So many songs in this musical have their moments of awesomeness.

---> '''Rusty:''' Earth, water, earth, fire, see the steam ''rise higher!''
** 'Poppa's Blues', since it's the first time we as an audience ''really'' get to hear what the old steamer is capable of vocally, and ''damn'' if it isn't awesome.
** Rusty belting out that one line in 'Starlight Express' is a seriously awesome moment in an otherwise gentle song.
---> '''Rusty:''' And if you're there, and if you know, then show me which way I should ''go!''
** Despite their general [[TotallyRadical awkward nature]], each version of the rap has something awesome about it.
*** The original version had Pearl talking back to Electra, who's almost always the one in charge:
----> '''Pearl:''' Now that's not fair! What'll you prove if he ain't there?
----> (general shouts of approval from the crowd)
----> '''Greaseball:''' That's true! Okay, Pearl, I'm with you.
----> '''Pearl (to Electra):''' Hey, you! Yes, you! Rusty can race you.
*** The second version had Electra giving a whole lot of lip to Greaseball and it was ''glorious'':
----> '''Electra: Hey, Greaseball, I'm talkin' to you! You still got that Dinah hangin' on a lead? A new set of wheels is what you need~
*** And the third and newest version had Electra ''killing'' it:
----> '''Electra:''' I'm electric! I'm the winner! I'm the future, you? You're the past. Look at me, I'm clean, I'm powerful, I'm ''beautiful-'' and not to mention, I'm way too fast~
** 'C.B'/'Wide Smile, High Style' has a lot of awesome moments. C.B's pitch shifts, skating stunts and general pride and confidence- not to mention, the fact that he manages to fool both Electra
''and'' all Greaseball is an awesome feat in and of itself.
** Although
the other champion engines he'll be racing song is nothing too awesome on its own, the Rockies' tricks and stunts in 'Right Place, Right Time' make it an awesome spectacle to watch.
** When Poppa and Rusty are singing full blast in the 'Starlight Sequence', it's an ''incredibly'' awesome and powerful moment.
** 'No Comeback'. Although it was eventually cut from the show, there's nothing like watching an awesome character go out
with in true [[TheEighties 80's]] rock fashion.a bang.
---> '''Electra:''' EAT MY ''DUST!''
