Can you imagine? Im good with my dinky little assignment thank you. 😊
Edit: After re-reading your comment i realize that you are asking what he meant and not repeating what he said.
A meet is when two or more trains that are opposing each other’s directions on single track meet where there is a “siding” or second track long enough to hold one of the trains so the other(s) can keep going.
I thought you were agreeing with the locomotive engineer and reiterating what he said. So my reply to you was “no thanks I prefer my little dinky train that travels only a few miles to service customers”.
I hope I’ve explained in a way you can understand. 😊
What’s a meet and a half?

I think it’s meeting another train going the other direction. The headlights coming through the inferno was a crazy sight.
The ‘… and a half’ is Canadian for something out of the ordinary or extreme.
“and a half” literally translates to “extra”
That’s a message and a half.
We have the same idiom in British English too.
