"Over-verbose description"? Come on, it was one sentence, and only a single comma. Not even a single semicolon :-)

Over-verbose or not, I think it said what I wanted to say, and would have gotten the point across quite well to most people. Who'd take a dull factual statement over the visceral thought of pushing a railroad car? Not your average creative writing teacher, I bet!

Not if it's the second trailer of a pair, and so is mounted on a dolly :-)
