A steam train has come across the fields and mountains to our town.
The Grand Lady blares her whistle as she passes.
Choo choo choo and chug chug chug she goes.
Counting the cars, I notice a child waving at me from a window.
I wave back "Hi!" and get a friendly smile in return.
On my next holiday I'll take the steam train to the neighboring town.
Today too, the Grand Lady is heading for your town full of smiling faces.
*The C57-1 steam locomotive plies the route between Yamaguchi and Tsuwano. She is affectionately known as Kifujin ("Grand Lady") in tribute to the majestic figure she cuts.
