Freight Train Blues by MARTIN WALLS

I'm stopped by the slow guillotine of the grade
Crossing—three diesels dragging gear north to Fort Drum

Not just tanks, & Fighting Bradleys, & armored cars
But oil transports, hospital trucks, even grain hoppers:

Everything we need to fight the long war in a foreign land.
