Shugarhi We wanted to flee. Our first date and we both thought as the train passed of jumping on and running away together. We only had 3 dollars between us, but we knew we would be happy as long as we had each other. Then the train passed... 010517

marjorie train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he shall not depart from it... unless, of course, he is bitter and unhappy and hates you and everything you've ever done, and does everything the exact opposite for the express purpose of making your teeth grind and your life miserable. but that's just the way some things are... right? yeah. :) 010529

niska super homage to the blizzard, btw...

When I was growing up, I heard the train - that was how I knew I was home. When I moved from home at 16, I could still (though faintly) hear the train, echoing from the ravine by the river.

when I moved to this place, for about 2 yearrs ago, all I could hear was planes. They just aren't as comforting.

Tonight, I hear the train - and I have no idea how... I know it's not far, yet it is. How I hear it is a mystery. How I love hearing it is the closest ting to being alive I could ever imagine.

shower singer the huge, noisy, destructive, fire-breathing beast of black and white films still holds the power to terrify me. even it's more civilised progeny which races the spine of our city today.

the other passengers don't seem to care. So i follow them into the body of the beast, and let it run away with me. Pretend that it's grimy, demanding power doesn't scare me.

whitneypitneybowes once on an overnight train to florida i saw a man jump out of the window in the snack cart. i was playing uno with a lady and a group of french foreign exchange students. the lady jumped up and shrieked 'that man just jumped out of the window!'. I ran up the stairs to tell my parents but was hushed by the quietness at the top. everyone gathered around the viewing car (one car of solid windows with no seats). They were listening to a hippie girl sing songs on a guitar. shh! they all gave me shhh's. so i never told them. 060913

past that was my first train-based trip. i'd taken the metro in montreal, the otrain in ottawa, and the subway in toronto before, but never a cross-country train. what a fundamentally civilized way to travel. 080914

my name it means nothing ah. well I'm no fan of civility, but trains are uncivil enough too. Berkeley, CA through Montana and on to Chicago.
Moving constantly is surreal, all the train people--where are you going, where are you from...
Sitting in the sightseeing car past_midnight with just a few other fellow passengers, all silent in their thoughts.
I do prefer the bus though, I think. More interesting conversations to overhear.

Or preferably a freight_train. No blatherskites, if that's the term?, go trainhopping, train_hopping, do they? I want to.
