The Finest Train                                             
David Brown

In her day she pulled the finest train
On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe
Now she’s sitting, silently decaying
In her day she pulled the finest train

Now she’s a broken ol’ loco,
no-go hobo condo, weeping heap of iron
Patiently waiting at a vacant station
adjacent to the end of the line

Once she was shot by O Winston Link
At the back of the drive-in showing Gone with the wind
Forty-three flashlights all going off in sync
Once she was shot by O Winston Link

Bugs and moss mark the passing years
Love and loss mark the passengers

The only smoke is from the hobo fire
Drinking in a circle, sitting on a pile of tyres
Coyotes in the bogies hidden in the thorn and brier
The only smoke is from the hobo fire
