Whitman shows that if you stay on the track that the engine runs; then our nation will all stay on track. Dickinson shows this style to us when she describes the tracks that the train runs on as "its ribs" and how the train "crawls between them". The snow, murky clouds and thick smoke represent all the problems that are faced by the nation. Dickinson uses parts of the body and human characteristics to relate her poems to; while Whitman describes his poems on a literal level.
