The Northern Express around 1951

The Locomotive sat as it hissed round it huge bulk
The engine driver and fireman arrived to take on this huge hulk
They set to work, adjusting knobs and pressures to go
And fed it coal in it’s huge firebox, just so
The station master blows his whistle very loud
The locomotive moves away in it’s chuffing white cloud
Slowly the train starts to move, it must not be late
The engine is now blasting steam off at a rate
The passengers settle in for a trip at a clip
The driver and fireman work and adjust things then sit.
