I have taken
some epic train trips
In my life
Been all over Korea and Taiwan
By train
Washington to NYC by train.
The longest train trip
Was taking the train
From Mumbai to Delhi
A 12-hour train ride
That lasted 16 hours
Due to foggy conditions,
Second class train
A night train
We slept most of the trip
Except when drinking tea
And eating Indian food.
On my train trips
I often thought
Of the US first continental train trip
And the golden spike
In the continental divide
That marked the halfway point.
