Night Train

Night Train is a song from the fifth season dedicated to the post train and "The Flying Kipper".

Lyrics
See how the night sky glows,

See the light from the night train,

The fire glow from the night train.

On down the line he blows...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

On down the line he blows.

All through the night he goes.

Hear the sound of the night train,

The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.

Hear how his whistle blows...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

Hear how his whistle blows.

Pulling, heaving, big engine breathing.

Pistons pushing side by side.

Driver checking, gauging, peering,

Fireman stoking by his side.

On down the line they go.

Fast track for the mail train,

Clear away for the post train.

Non-stop all night they go...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

Non-stop all night they go.

See how the night sky glows.

Clear ahead for the night train,

Green light for the night train.

On down the track he blows...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

On down the track he blows.

Dawn is breaking, sleepy town waking.

Children waving, watch him go.

Freight trains, milk trains,

Boat trains waiting,

Stand aside to let him go.

There in the morning glow

The sunlight on the night train,

Silhouettes the night train.

On down the line he blows...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

There in the morning glow.

On down the line he blows

Hear the sound of the night train,

The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.

Hear how his whistle blows...

Woooooo-oooooo!!!

Hear how his whistle blows.

On down the line he blows,

On down the line he blows.
