Old Trains

There once was a train from Neilston. When it passed you you thought that something was on f ire. The noise was deafening when the sound was going "Choo?choo?choo?choo?choo?choo?choochoo, woo?woo!" Everyone held their ears. When you walked into the train you heard people talking. People talked about how good it was to have fast transport. Everyone loved it. I thought it was a bit dirty, a bit smokey and there were old rags but it looked beautiful on the outside like a Special girl.
