Conductor.
Sailors through the hills and dales,
Is one here can tell us tales
Of those times when doubting man
First to “railroad it” began?
When the giant Steam's employ,
Was, to move a toiling toy?
When a “train of cars” would seem
O'ergrown wagons pushed by steam?
When most mortals did not know
Whether railroading would “go,”
Or rest in the weary round
Of things “tried and wanting” found?
