Meanings

   • The early Underground trains were essentially ordinary steam trains that just happened to be running below the streets in the middle of London. 2012, Andrew Martin, Underground Overground: A passenger's history of the Tube, Profile Books, →ISBN, page 33:
   • "But if so, why do you see so many young children on steam trains - apart, that is, from being dragged along by their fathers, or grandfathers? "I think they enjoy them because they are simply so different, so mechanical, so hot, oily and clanky, so dirty, so 'analogue' in a digital world. They are everything modern life tries to extirpate in favour of silence, smoothness and cleanness. Kids love that. 2022 February 23, Benedict le Vay, “Part of rail's past... present... and future”, in RAIL, number 951, page 56:
