Train Daze - Watercress Line, Hampshire

"Speeding, sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears
She was a princess of the night
I saw her riding on the war
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky"

Peter "Biff" Byford, Steve Dawson, Pete Gill, Graham Oliver, and Paul Quinn [1981]

Train Daze - Watercress Line, Hampshire

"Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Well, that long black train got my baby and gone

Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again, no, not again."

Sam C. Phillips, Herman Jr. Parker (1953)
