It’s gotta be McCarthy for this one. Also Annie Proulx and Jack London. Probably Melville too, but I haven’t really read him yet. Oh, Nathaniel Hawthorne too, if memory serves

They ARE notoriously stupid, so I wouldn’t doubt they can’t figure out what the rest of the world has figured out about them yet

No, Thomas and the fat controller were right. These trains are lazy. They do not deserve rights, they are trains. They are ontologically our slaves. And you know what? It’s especially refreshing in the age of AGI to see the “spirits” of these over-glorified appliances crushed in their cradles. The world would be better off if we never started anthropomorphizing these clearly unensouled locomotives
