I am a sucker for steam-- the first 'chug' was the sound of the beginning of a childhood holiday journey, which would end with cries of 'I can see the sea!' I have a vague idea that there is a line at Rawtenstall? The recitation of names alone, entwined with the snippet if information --the maypole, the fair, the church- evokes that place which the Motorway signs in London designate as 'The North'. I'll leave proper crit. for your next one! Here, the repetition, on a railway, and one with steam locos, is very effective.
