Trains always seem to provide good material for songwriting, whether about coming or going, or the journey itself as in Steve Goodman's classic, "City of New Orleans".
This one verse song started with a common chord pattern finger picked in A, and the idea of a boy standing on a platform noticing a girl, but too awed or afraid to approach, so he lets the moment pass, she boards the next train and is gone, leaving him behind with only a haunting image and lost opportunity. I think there should be another verse out there somewhere but guess I will have to wait for it to arrive on another track.
