summer evening

2
Lakeshore limited is single level coach seating.
Eleven hours to Buffalo / Depew, then a bit of wait until the Maple Leaf for Canada.
Likely not much tonight as it is dark out. With luck tomorrow will be a view and photograph of Niagara falls. Or at least the river.
Sounds like the conductor is calling for tickets.

I was next to a young woman heading to New York.
Across the aisle from me was James, who had been on the train since Martinez. I was heading to get a sandwiche, and asked James if I could bring him something from the snack bar. Likewise I asked my seat neighbor, who gave a short decline.
It was a sad thing to hear her say that she keeps to herself as her experience is no one does for you unless there is an underlying self interest. She did eventually engage in a bit of conversation, and when offered the use of one of my light cloaks for the air conditioned train, she accepted. I hope she can have positive experiences in her life!
