Man at the red light explaining why the engine is on the highway; Son, that train or engine is on this road because soon they will be putting a railroad through here and then we will have to sit at a light somewhere else. Son; But dad, it don't have wheels, how will it roll, Father; it will use that truck to get around, stupid.
