Far-off sounds of railway traffic and lake navigation came in on the wind.
* * * * * * * * * *
What is the sound of lake navigation? Lookouts yelling from the mast? Sails whipping in the wind? Oh, maybe steam engines chugging. So kind of the same sound as railway traffic, minus the clacking of metal wheels on metal rails, I suppose. Both would have steam whistles because you can't have a steam engine without using some of that steam to make a loud, high-pitched, annoying noise!
The important part of this sentence is how the sounds came in on the wind, just like the balloons. Air travel is the travel of nature and the future! Unless the most important part of the sentence is simply the word "came" because, remember, this seems to be a metaphor for a huge sex orgy.
