Clear Saturday night.
Very cold night.
Late in the evening.
Late in November.
Standing at Wolverton Station.
One of the oldest stations in the world.
The night is clear.
Not very many lights around.
Clear with no light pollution.
The stars are bright out of the freezing cold.
Standing at the platform.
People standing around.
Waiting for the train.
Steam train going by.
All the sudden the station announces.
Announces that a train is coming.
End of the platform steam appearing.
Through the station.
Could hear the wheels chucking away.
The steam coming out.
Smell the steam.
It's beautiful going past.
Looking at the carriges.
People in them.
Nice and warm.
The steam coming out.
Keeping us warm.
Going through grim Wolverton.
But brightened Wolverton a little.
Reminding the history of the place.
Felt like waiting for a train in the early 20th century.
