“Woo-woooo!” boomed the train’s whistle as the locomotive thundered through the street crossing, warning people to stay clear. The shiny steel wheels of the train rolled quickly down the tracks, making a “clackety-clack” at each crossing, then settling into a peaceful hum as they sped swiftly through the countryside.
The train stopped from time to time at small towns and suburbs to pick up new passengers. Finally, the train was approaching Chicago, “The Windy City.”
