The train wheels are squealing, like the drowning Gadarene pigs, and the horned and tailed engine driver is uttering dirty curses. All are poking their fingers at the disturber of the “peace”—condemning, ridiculing and threatening him. But he has already left.

The verse is brief, but it should be read slowly. Just two words, but each one is precious.
