Railroads Poem by Christopher Tye

Railroads

Rock Island lives on in my heart,
Alco PA's, FA's and Century series locos beyond compare,
Industrial switchers or road switchers,
Lima T-2500 transfer units on the Pennsy remember those?
Rutland's lost glory - ghosts of old steamers still linger,
Old F-units still rolling on the tracks,
American diesels across the world,
Dreaming of the golden days in short line heaven,
Sharknose's Baldwin's finest ever loco?
