There are no passenger trains in that part of the world. |

Credentialed...... 
i'd better bring along my certificates then....I've got a Lego building competition 2nd prize from 1976 and a Chamber of commerce one from 1987 proving i can operate a telex machine successfully..Will they do? 
As for there being no passenger trains in that part of the world.....could i grab a ride on a goods train? |

Apparently not.

Highly unlikely. Also, don't ask people there where to catch a goods train, because they'd have no idea what you were talking about. |

That would be "freight train."
Loaded like a freight train...

Yep, you and I know that "goods train" = "freight train," because we've been out and about in the world, at least a little bit. Since we're both from that same area originally, we also know that if someone asked the typical resident there, "Where can I catch the goods train?" . . . well, I wonder what the response would be.

Ok..all this train naming business seems confusing to a poor, unworldly naive recluse like me!!!!
I think instead i'll get a coach there.....are there any leaving from Ottawa on friday mornings?
If so what are the chances of me bringing along my pet ferret? |

Coach? Is that like a bus? I though a coach is in charge of the football team...
The further I get from Iowa, the more fondly, and humourously, I remember it...

Hence the sign you get outside some British pubs on a Saturday,
"No football coaches - the kind with 4 wheels!" |
