Prelude to Electric Locomotive Demonstration

One and half months later, twenty kilometers north of the Axelsen & Nielsen Headquarters, a crowd of people was looking at the locomotive made of shiny steel. They chattered among themselves, asking questions to their fellow attendees. 

The locomotive in question was a sight to behold. Its body was sleek and shiny, reflecting the bright sunlight that streamed down on it. It was a stark contrast to the older locomotives that the people were accustomed to seeing, which were mostly made of wood and steam-powered. This new locomotive, however, was said to be powered by electricity, and its body was made entirely of steel.
