Ashland's Rails
Trains on Railroad Avenue
Walking along Railroad Avenue,
I hear a distant sound,
I look around,
Right along the tracks,
A train is coming fast,
The signal clangs loud,
From the locomotive,
Is a smoke cloud,
The sound gets closer,
As I look up and see,
The CSX is rumbling through,
At a certain time,
I see it was due,
The flanges clang the rails,
That have many tales,
Of time lived here,
This will make your heart cheer,
The cars maybe carry coal,
I never know what they hold,
But it is fun,
To see the trains roll through Ashland,
In such a timely fashion,
While people eat and stare,
There is bliss in the air,
As the trains roll through.
