 Train Enthusiasts...

• Imagine the movement and sound of a steam locomotive pulling out of the station. The big engine lumbers and creaks to a start, barely moving at all. The side arms begin to rotate ever so slowly. As the mighty loco builds momentum the train begins to choo. The engineer gradually raises the throttle. The train is on it's way, barreling down the track, choo-choo-ing it's familiar sound as it passes by. The train begins to slow well before it's destination, fighting with itself to overcome it's own power. The train reduces speed gradually as the rhythm of the pistons begins to slow. The train finally comes to a stop, but not before giving one last choo.
• A diesel locomotive is at work in the railyard. The cab is idling it's powerful motor. The engineer engages reverse and couples the load. The cars buckle as they come together. The train idles briefly as the engineer puts the engine in forward. The train inches ahead, pulling slack from the cars one by one. The train shudders as the engineer returns to idle. The train idles briefly, before finally pulling out of the yard. The sound changes gradually as the train builds inertia. Finally the train disappears with a faint whoosh into the distance. All while you relax and watch.

• You're watching a drag-racing heat. A radical drag-racing engine roars to life. You admire each cylinder as the engine returns to idle, the unmistakable sound of a full racing cam with opened headers and top-fuel. The engine revs, the car strains to leap forward. The car lunges with tires spinning as it performs the burnout. The engine idles radically as the driver engages reverse. The driver slowly backs his car to the line. You hear the crackling exhaust reverberate against the asphalt, the tone of each crackle changing as the car backs slowly by you. The engine revs wildly, waiting for the start. Finally, first gear. The car leaps forward chewing up the track. Halfway down the track, second gear. You hear the audible shift between gears. You see the car rip forward following the shift. The car brakes as it crosses the finish line, skidding to a stop.
