“twilight limited” locomotive
blowing coal black smoke
passing midwestern train miles
piercing whistle screaming
roaring past
watertowers grain elevators windmills
ancient tin cup
farmer’s well head
icy water slaking thirst
hank williams
grand ole opry star
“cold cold heart” song hit
west virginia gas station
quiet peaceful farewell
