How the clue works
Look at puffer — that's your definition, a steam train that puffs smoke. "Soften" gives you CHEW, and "tobacco" (as in what you chew) gives you CHEW again — say and loudly together signal that both are homophones, so each CHEW sounds like CHOO. Doubly confirms you need that repeated twice, giving you CHOO-CHOO.
