When the train tooted its horn  There's a brewery at the rail yard in my Dad's hometown, where my fiancée and I were having a drink after casing some wedding vendors. I joked that if the family farm didn't work out, we could always get married at the historical society (which is in the train station)- maybe we could invite the train to come! I then explained that I was just kidding, we aren't going to invite the Amtrak to our wedding. She nodded and remarked that "most people don't anthropomorphize trains" and "if we knew what we know now when you were a kid, you would have been tested" and handed me my beer. A keeper.

Pendragon posted:Welcome to diesel! Electrification costs money, and the rail lines are already on threadbare budgets due to the drop in traffic since COVID. In college I lived in an apartment that backed onto the MBTA tracks. You get used to it (I shouldn't have, I was in goddamn music school but I also hung out with the death/sludge metal kids sooooooooo not making great long-term choices).
