Meaning: always thinking about only one subject

Origin: most railroads have at least two tracks so trains can go in different directions. However, on a single-track railroad line, train traffic can only move in one direction at a time.

Example: "Paul has a one-track mind. All he ever thinks about is football, football, football."
