STEPNEY VISITS ARVERNE
by A. Griffin/ Super Train Station H ---------------------------------
From Sheffield Park so far away, to the narrow stretch of Rockaway, the young at heart count down the days, till Stepney visits Arverne.
A tour spanning across the world, bringing joy to every boy and girl, now New York City gets its turn, when Stepney visits Arverne.
The Bluebell Railway's long revered, does blow her chime so all will hear, and beyond its sound, is spread the cheer, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Brightly the merry whistle tones, beach rabbits scurry to their holes, folks rush out from their bungalows, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Long Island Rail Road right of way, between the ocean and the bay, will carry her throughout her stay, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Backyards on Amstel Boulevard, from there wave children from afar, they see the engine working hard, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Each of her cars, a wooden coach, on streams of steel, away they float, within the sight of canal boats, when Stepney visits Arverne.
These tracks knew steam so long ago, and reminded of the days of old, the beachside rails do creak and groan, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Subway cars get traction too, watch Stepney pull R32s, the silver cars glisten like new, when Stepney visits Arverne.
The engine painted muted gold, whispers with steam the stories told, of escape from scrap, so brave and bold, when Stepney visits Arverne.
The Jay Street Cargo Railroad yard, meets the London South Coast Railway's star, the Brukelen Bridge isn't so so far, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Suited commuters, office bound, are caught off guard by what they've found, tank engine strength gets them around, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Beach 67th needs crowd control, when the famous train is due to roll, perfect shots are the spotter's goal, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Long Island multi-unit cars, though motors rest, they travel far, the engine takes them from the yard when Stepney visits Arverne.
She brought the Pullman coaches too, for dining pleasure on the move, the bayside vistas set the mood, when Stepney visits Arverne.
Not everyone's seen steam before, but the magic they'll learn to adore, from the "Floreat Vapor" ambassador, when Stepney visits Arverne.
And off she goes, all by herself, to have adventures somewhere else, but she came before, and she'll come again, and a few more seaside days she'll spend, on the ocean line, with the blue H sign, when Stepney visits Arverne.
---------------------------------
Arverne is a neighborhood situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay on New York City’s Rockaway Peninsula.
London Brighton South Coast Railway No. 55, “Stepney”, is a tank engine that was built in 1875 and now lives at the Bluebell Railway in England.
The artwork of Lunarian H (my own character) and Stepney in Arverne was provided by Keetah Spacecat.

A New York City taxi driver was killed after he was brutally beat up by multiple assailants who tried to rob him.
Kutin Gyimah, 52, died after a group of five teenagers and young adults attacked him in a playground in the Rockaways early last Saturday morning.
Police identified Gyimah as a yellow cab minivan driver. He was reportedly dropping off the five assailants near the park when they tried to rob him.
Surveillance footage shows Gyimah catching up with the group outside near the playground after the attempted robbery. Gyimah confronts the group, who turn and begin beating him up.
Five assailants can be seen beating up Gyimah in the video – two boys in their early 20s and three teenage girls, police said.
Police named one suspect, Austin Amos, 20, who they believe killed Gyimah when he threw him to the ground.
In the video, Amos appears to throw a punch at Gyimah, which knocks him off his feet. The back of his head then hits the ground.
The deadly fight happened around 6.20am near the Arverne Playground.
When first responders got to the scene, they found Gyimah lying on the ground with trauma to his head. He was taken by paramedics to St Johns Hospital in Far Rockaway where he was pronounced dead.
Gyimah was identified as a father of four who lived in the Bronx. Gyimah’s kids are aged 8, 7, 5 and 3.
A GoFundMe was set up to help pay for Gyimah’s funeral expenses, as well as support his four children’s living and educational expenses.
‘All through the worst days of the pandemic he was one of the few who still drove a cab continuously to provide support for our city and its citizens,’ the organizers wrote.
The fundraiser had received almost $135,000 in donations as of Thursday afternoon.

Girl my dad owns every single Astérix et Obélix comic hardcover and somehow I feel like you're more obsessed with them than he is
Snorts, yeah, that might be right. A lot of people own all the Astérix books, technically. It's not theeeee most common thing in the world, but I think it's sort of perceived in a similar way to owning all the Pokémon games or something - a meaningful cultural thing to have.
I actually don't, though. I've said it a LOT but Astérix is just too damn expensive to get every single one shipped in from France to Australia, so I hold off until I stumble across a VO online I desperately want. Tada:
Tumblr media
I have 4-6 as well but I lent it to a family friend who wanted to read them to his newborn. I mean, I obviously had to indulge such education.
I think a lot of French who are super into the series sort of view my collection as a little lame, but beyond the simple fact that the amount of money you have doesn't correlate to how much you like something, even if it did I'd probably have more to show for it than them, because where an Astérix édition is 10€, it's $35AUD.
