A Trip in a Railroad Car and a Life on a Rail

Poem contrasts life at sea and forest with joy of rail travel. The speaker favors a rapid train journey, delighted by the steam whistle and bright sparks banishing gloom as time passes. The piece ends with a repeated chorus praising the piping steam and a fire on the rail.
