It’s that choo choo sound
.The steam puffing up with the movement in being anywhere bound.
First thing when the conductor says, “All Aboard”
The destination sign that suddenly appears from the board
.The wheels that start of churn
.The coal car on the train burning like a hot urn
.The thought the engine pulling the entire car load
.The movement having power and the look of behold
.As the Engineer ***** the bell and the engine horn
.It’s the Engineer actually saying to the boy, “Railing fantasy my treat”.
Being an Engineer takes endurance and feat
.Well Tom Othello was a lover of trains
.His Grandfather being a retired Engineer having a history and in Tom’s heart that will remain.
It was the beauty of the Super Chief
.As the Super Chief whisked by in hot summers gave some coolness being a relief.
Well seeing the Super Chief and passenger cars up close and personal made Tom appreciative of trains even more
.However, Tom was determined to explore.
There was a toy model Super Chief train set
 The Train Cometh Hobby Shop knew the Super Chief was going to be a good bet.
But the question being would Tom’s parents let? 
It took plenty of convincing to buy the Super Chief set
. However, Tom held onto that train set as if it was a loving pet.
Tom had that train running all through the house
.The Super Chief being a welcome arrival into a little boy’s place.
One thing that is for sure, the experience cannot be erased.
It was an enchanted ride
.We all took it in being our stride
.Well the Super Chief puffs to an endless rail
.The Super Chief thanks everyone for following in the trail
.As the Super Chief rides into the sunset, it’s one puff after another, and saying good-bye and another puff in don’t cry.
