GUEST,Teefy What Does 'Shed' Mean in Cannily Cannily (6) What Does 'Shed' Mean in Cannily Cannily 21 Nov 21


The line is

"Soon he'll be gan thro' the shed for his engine
Soon he'll be driving his train through the night"

I picture a literal backyard garden type shed when I sing this line, but that doesn't quite feel like it fits. I am not sure if "shed" here refers to a train related thing or is a slang term I am unfamiliar with? If anyone has any insight on the line, that would be appreciated. Thank you.
