Left behind the train.

Left behind on the train:      

Two tickets lying on the the floor,

Big rail tracks for trains to ride on.

People waking up early to catch the train.

Left behind on the train:      

Lots of leather seats for people to sit on.      

rubbish and rocks lying on the railway tracks.

The train going past loud and fast.

Putting your money in the machine for your ticket.

Left behind on the train:

Two big boxes for the trains to carry to different locations.

Sliding doors for people to open to get into the train.

Seeing other people and meeting friends.
