The rumble grows ever more clear as three engines pull scores of cars near till the glorious roar thunders by the front door with the caboose clanging by in the rear. As the hinter car pulls out of sight the sounds fade away in the night. The late freight has flown and its last whistle blown till the next train arrives at first light.
