Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On a Slow Train Through Arkansaw You are not the only pebble on the beach for there is a little rock in Arkansaw. It was down in the state of Arkansaw I rode on the slowest train I ever saw. It stopped at every house. When it come to a double house it stopped twice. They made so many stops I said, "Conductor, what have we stopped for now?" He said, "There are some cattle on the track." We ran a little ways further and stopped again. I said, "What is the matter now?" He said, "We have caught up with those cattle again." We made pretty good time for about two miles. One old cow got her tail caught in the cow-catcher and she ran off down the track with the train. The cattle bothered us so much they had to take the cow-catcher off the engine and put it on the hind end of the train to keep the cattle from jumping up in the sleeper. A lady said, "Conductor, cant this train make any better time than this?" He said, "If you ain´t satisfied with this train, you can get off and walk." She said she would, only her folks didn´t expect her till the train got there. A lady handed the conductor two tickets, one whole ticket and a half ticket.
