Waiting...

This is me, standing in the "bus" shelter, waiting for the train. You can see, across the tracks, what the shelter looks like. The shelters are pretty nifty. They have two ceiling heaters that work fairly well when standing in certain spots. The shelters look like they are enclosed, and they are for the most part but they are still kept open enough to allow ventilation. Well, not just allow ventilation, but a pretty strong draft, it's windy in this area! I also kind of think that the shelters aren't fully enclosed to prevent people etc. from sleeping overnight in these things.

There are benches in this thing, but they are metal. Not too comfortable to sit on those in the middle of winter. I feared that i would sit down and seal myself to the bench somehow. That would be an interesting sight.

I made the mistake of standing outside when a train was going by on the opposite tracks. The commuter train runs really slow compared to the cargo trains. I don't know if you've ever stood next to a train going full speed but it's scary! I was standing on the platform, i hear the train blow it's horn and then before i know it, this train is screaming by. Literally screaming by, kicking up sprays of snow and showering all of us on the opposite side. Those cargo trains have so much momentum behind them i know can easily understand how much damage they can cause.

On a side note, i'm slowing the posts down a bit. It's not that i'm running out of topics, i just think we've all seen enough pictures of winter. :) I'll also be switching gears with the subject matter. Just a tiny bit :).
