Here's the poem: Adlestrop: Yes, I remember Adlestrop-- The name, because one afternoon Of heat the express-train drew up there Unwontedly. It was late June. The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. No one left and no one came On the bare platform. What I saw Was Adlestrop - only the name And willows, willow-herb, and grass, And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, No whit less still and lonely fair Than the high cloudlets in the sky. And for that minute a blackbird sang Close by, and round him, mistier, Farther and farther, all the birds Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. Of course all of this bears no resemblance to your image but it just reminded me of this poem!

This reminds me of a poem about a station. Its all about the waiting and the noises. It is funny how still such a place will be and then when the train arrives how the still is disrupted. I am so olde I remember steam stains in the UK and they were very dramatic with all the belching smoke. I was very young at the time!
