Not quite like peepers at night,
Railroad critters have their own light…
G.E.’s tend to whine
On their owner’s dime,
With short cuts of cars they fight!
–
The twenty-five tonner “dinky”
Exhaust tends toward stinky…
Smoke in the eyes
Is no surprise,
At times blue smoke turns inky!
–
When old, oft put on display,
Costs more to scrap anyway…
Does its job
With no hobnob,
From the big trains’ right of way!
