Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

As children we might have sat on a wall somewhere and waved to the train as it passed by at speed, if we were fortunate to be seen by a friendly driver, we could be rewarded with a recognition of our interest with the sound of a horn, a blast of a whistle, or even at one time the enveloping steam from its funnel, and it would be the highlight of our day, a simpler time, a more enjoyable way to see the world as we understand the metaphor of life as we see A Passing Train go by.
