Nice one, Here's another--
Travel
THE railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Here's my offering...
NINETY-FOUR YEARS AGO
April 30, 1994
Ninety-four years ago
There used to be a great man.
But on a fateful trip
94 years ago...
A collision changed his plan.
Something was in his way,
He died that very day.
The fellow was spirited to leave
But even rash sliding to a stop.
It's ever a wonder previous
Abrupt meetings with other matter
Did not send him to the shop.
At the last moment
He shoved out his friend,
For he knew in an instant
He was quickly nearing the end.
When the engineer was found
There lay him with broken bones.
The throttle piercing his throat...
And destined the "Great Casey Jones".
JOHN LUTHER JONES

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
