Go ahead and dream.
A couple of weeks back I did segment about how much I love riding freight trains and how little I've done it compared to my kid brother. Brian just checked in from Mississippi, where he's been visiting our family. He writes:
Just rode down to brookhaven yesterday. You were right about there being a lot of train traffic around here. I was at the eudora welty library yesterday when i decided to go on an adventure. walking right down around the corner from the amtrak station there was a train creeping by. Very pleasant boxcar ride down to brookhaven (seventy mph easily). nice town, cheap to live there.
Color me still jealous.
