It's.......!
Is this the place
Where steam
Once painted all the windows,
Where clanking gear
Rattled the wooden platforms,
Where coal dust
Settled like a magic carpet,
Sparkling and scrunchy?

This chromium space,
Reds and greys,
This antiseptic time machine,
Silver gleam.
This computer control room,
Muffled modulations,
Twinkling rainbows rays?

Where are the manual semaphores,
White for home,
Yellow for distant place,
The twanging wires,
The polished levers,
The waving flag,
The smiling face?

This passing place,
This oasis for the Caravan,
This stable for the Jugganaut,
This ants nest,
Where passing train devours its host.

I give to you a toast,
Long live the Southern Railway.
