Poem at Kirkcaldy station

This poem, "The boy in the train", capturing the essence of a train journey to Kirkcaldy in the past, is always popular at primary school recital evenings. It has pride of place above the stairway at Kirkcaldy station and is printed, fittingly, on linoleum which was the source of the "queer-like smell" that used to hang over the town. The text of the poem can be seen here http://www.rampantscotland.com/poetry/blpoems_kirkcaldy.htm
