All aspects of articulation are addressed in this hellish train journey. The gradual acceleration not only suggests a train that is driving faster and faster, but is also intended to practise staccato playing.

A real train whistle can enhance the atmosphere in certain places that have been marked for this purpose. This part can also be used as an encore piece for a concert.
