The couple found the perfect home
In a quaint old town; loved it from the
very first minute; knew somehow they
would never get bored – moved right
in the next morning . . .
They had bought the house and land
At an estate auction – it dated back
to the 1930’s; everything inside was
kept the same way; there was something
very unique about it . . .
The elderly couple that had owned it
Mysteriously disappeared; the police
investigated – found no clues; it was
like no one had ever lived there; couldn’t
even find any fingerprints . . .
Weeks had now passed-by and the young
Couple had pretty much settled-in; then one
day while the husband was doing some yard
work, he uncovered something unusual; “Honey
come look at this . . . ”
It was train-tracks; they decided to ask around
To get more information – after talking with
some of the town’s older residents, they found
out that there use to be a steam locomotive that
made a nightly run . . .
“Yeah, The OLd 475 use to come through every
evening at exactly eight-o’clock – was never late;
always ran according to schedule; the old station was
located where your house now sits, but that was some
seventy-plus years ago . . . ”
That same night, while the couple were in the kitchen
Cooking dinner, the whole house started to shake; they
looked at each other – the sound of a train got closer
and then suddenly, it came through the side of the house
and stopped by them . . .
It was the OLd 475 with its’ ghost engineer; the couple
Stood there horrified; a conductor motioned; no trace of
them was ever found – it made a run whenever a new owner
moved in; still thought it was the old station; had an ‘eclat for
never leaving anyone behind . . .

I wonder where they went? Perhaps a sequil to "The Old475" will endevor your pen to continue this fabulous story poem!?!
Much Love & Inspirations as I see the previous owner on board lit up an ole stogie & there seems to be a faint sound of an ole jack playin on his harmonica
