You can not be-bleeb it!
That's what I said to Mike today when I was late picking him up from swimming lessons. I had virtuously left home in good time, and noted a train coming in from the west as I drove to town. It kept coming and coming, although it was slowing down now, which is never a good sign if you are in a hurry.
Knowing Mike would want to know if it stopped at the "train co-op", I took a different road in that parallels the tracks. The train was right there from 14th, to Main, and then for six blocks on the other side of Main! I ALMOST got to the one open crossing, but then the arm came down, and all I could do was sit and count.
SIX engines. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT hopper cars! Got to be the longest one I ever saw!
