The two-note phrase seemed to dance in the air, adding a touch of whimsy and humor to the scene as the steam engines continued on their journey. The lighthearted sound of the musical phrase served as a reminder that even the most powerful and impressive machines could be touched by moments of levity and joy.
The whistle of the Strasburg 90 Short sounded once more, its mournful cry filling the air with a sense of longing and nostalgia.
