Steel veins stretch across the dawn,
Steam sighs where the dark has gone,
Engines pulse with iron might,
Coal-fed hearts in morning light.
Old men board with hats pulled low,
Eyes like windows, soft and slow,
Hands of leather, soot and toil,
Dreams long buried in the soil.
The whistle wails a ghostly tune,
Underneath a yawning moon—
Past the fields and factory gate,
Time rolls on, but they still wait.
In clattering rhythm, work begins,
Where smoke and memory softly spin.

Canadian Pacific on Hampshire Watercress Line.
It is Only my second time at photo steam trains, so bit steep learning curve as to shutter speed etc. Think just see some movement in wheels, but my panning left a lot to be desired !!
just about see faces of people in carriage !
Wheels in shadow as I was facing directly south to sun.

Mom teaching me to be a smoker played a big part inmaking me become like her. Being dressed in Mom's clothes, wearing her make up and smoking made me feel like I had become my Mom
