― Elisha Cooper, Train
Arm out window stopped at the tracks Americana, IL May 2014 |
On this particular Saturday, I had two moments with a train. The above was taken en route to a BBQ festival* and the other while stopping for a minute to sit along Lakeshore for a break during a run. A gentleman stopped by, asked if he could sit with my friend and me and said he rode trains. He had been in Birmingham (beaten by the police), Memphis (didn't like) and Chicago (his favorite). "Look at this view" he said while sweeping his left hand. "Just keep doing what you're doing" his parting words before stepping away.
*Nothing beats Southern BBQ. Sorry, Chitown.
