-The play was based on actual people from Fourie's youth in and around the town of Luckhoff, and tells of the simple minded Faan and his love of trains. Written in a realistic and popular format, which Fourie referred to as [[Volkstoneel]] ("Folk drama"), a form he was propagating at the time, and has continued to champion.  In a more literary fashion, the play also makes use of  a plot twist strongly reminiscent of Roald Dahl's ironic tale ''Parsons's Pleasure'' (1958).

 ''[[Faan se Trein]]'' became an enormous box office success when it was first produced. The play had been  written in 1971, but was not performed then. It was only in 1975, after it had been published by [[Tafelberg Publishers]], that Fourie submitted the play to [[CAPAB]] for possible production, when the council had cancelled a production of [[Bartho Smit]]'s controversial satire ''[[Bacchus in die Boland]]''.
