HINTS to help find the hidden train link:
So it was more difficult than I hoped, so here is a website tool that
should help, and some example octal numbers:

Just a clarification...the text of the thread was the actual one since the beginning? Or were the two ending lines added?

So this is a little puzzle, hopefully not too difficult
I, will give you a few hints, the rest is up to you
You will have to read words, and count
One: important clue, is to consider using octal numbers
Two: punctuation, commas and colons will help
