Railroad Opinions in a Church Mapped by Passengers
A narrated dialogue frames a brakeman’s humorous tour through rail lines as he lists roads tied to church names from Episcopal to Wesleyan, Universalist, and Baptist, critiquing their bounties, rules, and travelers while contrasting a longing for a reliable main line with a critique of branch routes. The piece shifts to a Prodigal Son sermon and a sermon-like reflection on marriage, duty, and simplicity in contrast to costly wedding displays.
