The hum that stays after the yard goes quiet
Midnight shift ended an hour ago and I'm still sitting in the cab, watching the steam drift off the radiators. The silence here isn't empty—it's full of all the sounds that get drowned out during the day. Thought I knew this engine inside out, but at night she sounds like she's holding her breath.

Know that sound. After a burn day, the rig cools and you hear every tick and sigh she's been holding back. Like the quiet knows more than the roar ever did.
