The best versions of "Night Train" are all instrumental. My three favorites are by Jimmy Forrest, the Viscounts, and James Brown.
I don't consider the JB an instrumental.
That's OK. You're allowed to be wrong.
I guess so is Whitburn, it's not listed as an instrumental in his "Top Pop Singles" 12th Edition.

2. (of music) performed on instruments, with no vocals.
Let me ask you, in the James Brown record, what "instrument" is naming all those cities, like Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina?
Whenever this discussion comes up I'm reminded of a conversation between Whitburn and Duane Eddy,
who insisted that all his songs be listed as instrumentals, including songs such as "(Dance With
The) Guitar Man"
"(Dance With The) Guitar Man" was the one major Duane Eddy hit of our
era left out of the old Strictly Instrumental Battle by consensus
because of the extensive vocal parts
Of course it's not an instrumental. It seems quite egotistical of Duane Eddy to claim otherwise.
