We gasped and it gasped back.<br \/>It kept coming: we sat with our legs dangling<br \/>over a stone bridge as it steamed along,<br \/>cheeks and chest puffed out, lungs heaving,<br \/>hauling the golden age and ragging a blue sky<br \/>with silver clouds. We saluted &#8211; it hooted back.<br \/>It kept on coming: from steep embankments<br \/>and country platforms we whistled and flagged,<br \/>tried to peek inside the upholstered Pullmans<br \/>and catch the eye of important someones<br \/>riding on plush cushions; we waved,<br \/>hoping a gloved hand might wave back.<br \/>It kept on coming: we clapped like mad<br \/>when its diesel engines went like the clappers,<br \/>gawped from city streets and apartments,<br \/>smiled at hundreds of faces, as if the carriages<br \/>whooshed entire towns of passengers station<br \/>to station. It kept on coming, tunnelling<br \/>under mountain ranges then vaulting ravines<br \/>and canyons. When sleepwalking coaches<br \/>shushed through curtained suburbs at night<br \/>we wished them sweet dreams; when freight containers<br \/>trundled and rumbled down branching branch lines<br \/>we nodded a knowing wink to the rolling stock<br \/>and it winked back. It just kept on coming:<br \/>we fist-bumped and high-fived the sleek machines<br \/>of the future, some bulleting here to there,<br \/>some gliding on air. And we waited to clock<br \/>the last guard&#8217;s van swinging its red lantern,<br \/>but that didn\u2019t happen: rounding the globe<br \/>coupled nose to tail to nose to tail that train<br \/>was two centuries long and still counting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Copyright 2025: Simon Armitage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Railway 200<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/railuk.com\/rail-news\/poet-laureate-marks-railway-bicentenary-with-commemorative-poem\/\" title=\"Poet Laureate marks railway bicentenary with commemorative poem\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.railuk.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/29120035\/Simon-Armitage-Railway-200-485x360.png\" class=\"webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/a>The 200th anniversary of the modern railway has been celebrated with a commemorative poem from Poet Laureate Simon Armitage CBE.
