Great pics, sapper.
Here's a song for ya:
I Like Trains Fred Eaglesmith
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas border Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing I took it to the shoulder
I stoked the kettle, I put it to the metal, I shook the gravel loose I missed the train but I was happy with A glimpse of the caboose
`Cause I like trains I like fast trains I like trains That call out through the rain I like trains I like sad trains I like trains That whisper your name
I was born on a Greyhound bus; my mama was a diesel engine They tried to put me behind the wheel But I wouldn't let them
You should have seen the look in their eyes and how it turned to tears When I finally told them I wanna be an engineer
(chorus)
Now, you think that I got someone new But darlin', that ain't true I could never love another Woman, besides you
`Cause it's not some dewy eyed darlin', darlin' That's gonna drive you insane Not anymore, but I'd be listening for The sound of a big ol' train
(chorus)
I like trains That whisper... That whisper your name
