Thanks for the summary of "A Book of Dreams", Henry!

Aha!  That's why the 7 inch single has "For Peeps" engraved into the
runoff groove.

That makes perfect sense!  I should have realized that from the chapter
I read!

But you quoted this paragraph:

	Everett Quimbly said if you run with your hands open you could
	go faster so my hands were wide open going back and forth like a
	train all the way up to the hill like a train running.  Because
	if I run fast enough maybe I could beat them to he top of the
	hill and warn Daddy.  What did they want?  What did they want?
	Why did they always make us unhappy?

Looks like a good reason for the train sounds to me....
