Quotes / Cool Train

"Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day..."

— Princess of the Night by Saxon

"All aboard! HAHAHAHAHA!"

— Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

"Iron child out of Vulcans forge, metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel, hear the pistons clash
Dragon breathin' big black smoke, howlin' up the tracks"

— Ridin' With the Driver by Motörhead

"When I hear the iron horse make the hills echo with his snort like thunder, shaking the earth with his feet, and breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils, it seems as if the earth had got a race now worthy to inhabit it."

— Henry David Thoreau

Pons: You came by train?

Kate: Yes. A kind of clockwork train with a spring mechanism that winds down. Regularly.

Pons: You mean, you drive a train? Young ladies of today never cease to amaze me!

Kate: Oh no, I'm not the engineer. The train's engineer is actually an automaton!.. I am sorry, all this probably sounds very strange.
