Trains and Family




We have a better sort of Monday morning than most people.


We reverse commute out to the 'burbs.


The Long Island Railroad is a very good venue for sleeping (did it myself for years).


The very platform I used to hang out on.


The green of a backyard and a heart



and a kitchen chair.


A very chic outfit


then more trains


and a return to the city



and the picturesque but numbing subway.

  2. When I was a young boy, I also had a toy train with station, tunnel and a lot of carriages. Now I only like to travel on trains, not playing with them :)

  4. I've only been on a train once in my whole life and that was a train to Chicago a couple years ago. It's a fun way to travel, but of course, an Amtrak is not a subway. Your photos and words remind me of Eloise and that's a good thing.

    Have a great day!

  12. It's lovely to go a different direction on Monday mornings these days...or even to go nowhere at all...I do love being retired.

    You have a wonderful reason to go in the direction you were going! Much better than to the office to start the work week.
