Just wanted to congratulate on the win................what's got into people? Somebody seems jealous......if you know what i mean......

Nicely written, reminds me of childhood days flattening pennies on the tracks and climbing the tressel, waiting for the big beast to roll by, shaking and vibrating the structure as we held on for dear life. Excellent Poem.
Steve Earle wrote, I ain't ever satisfied.
"I was born by the Railroad Tracks
that train whistle wailed
and I wailed right back"
Peace and Blessings

Grant,
Firstly congratulations on your deserved win.

This poems subject and the meter compliment each other. I found myself huffing and chuffing the words along out loud. You have painted a clear image of the train’s momentum and its engineers causing its movement. Without them it would lay cold and stationary, dead if you like. With their fossil fuel and effort life is breathed into the beast, tamed to provide transportation for all.

Well done

Michael

Yes without them the rest of the crew are not.
