A train is drinking a beer and sitting at a bar next to a man. The train is leaning over the bar, and is sad and crying. The seated man is glancing at the train, apparently listening to it.
Not only is it unusual that the train is anthropomorphic , but it's quite odd the train is sad, and is crying while apparently drinking its troubles away at the bar.
What happened to make the train so upset? Is the train's internal combustion engine ethanol compatible?
We uncoupled.

A play on the word "uncoupled" --- for trains, uncoupling cars is to disconnect them physically. But here, "uncoupled" refers to a romantic breakup. The train is crying because the physical disconnection of a train car was with a train car they were in love with.
