QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Its the mystery of it all... Where is it coming from? Where is it going? What ever is inside thoses boxcars must be pretty important... Railroaders are the wandering minstrels of the modern world...they go from place to place, every day someplace new... Who out there hasnt wondered what the life would be like? And they they get use huge machines every day.... Even though I work for a local railroad, and I get to go home every night, I still watch the morning commuters rushing to the same job, every day, knowing they will be doing the same thing, time after time, nothing new, nothing changes, the same daily grind...which is why I do what I do, its never really the same, and I feel so sorry for them...how boring it must be, to look at the same four walls, or the same cubicle day after day, knowing it will always be the exact same thing tomorrow. Why trains? Because they hold the promise of taking you anywhere besides where you are right now... Tempting, aint it? Ed
