Either "Puckman" or "The Swarm."  Take your pick.

It may be hard to see, but Puckman is on the side of the locomotive.

That PC version isn't acceptable.

I have no actual memory of the fight song.  (I'm sure I'd recognize it if I heard it.)  However, the RPI alma mater has one of the best "this can only be an alma mater" tunes I've ever heard.

For me, it's memorable because it is reminiscent of "I've been working on the Railroad," and I'd love to know if that was intentional.

It doesn't sound like that to me, but it was written in 1934 and the nickname Engineers was introduced about 1960, so it wouldn't fit chronologically anyway.

From that first link above, the name "Engineers" started being used as a nickname in 1921.

The words "The college of our heart" are set to the same note intervals as "all the live-long day."
and "we'll always strive to be" similarly sounds just like "Rise up so early in the morn'"

Once those are established in my head, the two songs have a similar structure.  I had never heard the "tramp tramp tramp" bridge part, but it's the same length and has as much repetitiveness as the "Dinah won't you blow" bit.

It doesn't sound anything like it to me.  Or it didn't, anyway.

It sounds like a generic football fight song in the background of a '40s newsreel.  Which sounds like a knock, but it's way better than stealing a bad tin pan alley tune,

Agreed! That's a great alma mater. Close to Wisco's; although, Wisco's tune is stolen from Gounod.

Except that no one ever seems to sing the thing. ::whistle::
