The Railroad Crossing Red lights flash as candy-cane arms hug close. In the distance a rebutting horn blows from stout vocal cords. She speeds by in glory galloping-chatter from boxcars that chase her skirt miles upon miles on cold-boned steel. Tall grass and brush dance foolishly, applauding, bowing until stillness silently waits for an encore.

I think you were right on Track with this one
I can see the changes in style in your writing
So where did you Train for this?

Sometimes in life we just watch things pass by
but as time passes we learn to either follow the tracks or stay away from them

But why the hell does the cabose
have to grow with the passing of time

These words of wisdom have been brought to you by
Amtrack and law enforcement

I always liked stopping, but one time the train stopped to pick up over eight hundred coals cars, it was five hours.
