Trains!



We live right by a train track. Not close enough, that it goes right in front of our house, but close enough to be able to see it if we are sitting in our driveway. Mostly, we can HEAR it. We hear it every hour it seems like. We hear it in the middle of the night. It has to blow it's horn every time it goes through a railroad crossing. It goes right through the middle of town, so we go over it just about every day. We have to go over it to go to the library, the bank, the grocery store. Several times we have had to stop for it. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's not. One time it seemed we were stopped for 30 minutes while it loaded or unloaded something. We couldn't tell, it was a long train. Last night we had to stop for it again. This time we were able to see what it was doing. We were stopped about 15-20 minutes while it loaded and unloaded cars. We weren't in a big hurry so we just sat and watched. We were on our way to our pool party that we figured would be canceled. The car if front of us gave up with about 5 minutes to go.
