But that first stop was over an hour ago. The train had continued on to the harbour at the far side of the city's greatest extent, where it came to the far end of the island. There it gave off its load of whatever goods were required before returning on the way back, stopping at the bridge one more time before returning to the train yards for the night. A few late-nighters and ponies who needed to cross the bridge but were held back for one reason or another always showed up, so it was worth hanging around for a minute or two to top up the water one last time before continuing on to its nightly rest at the train yard.
