Train Stations Everyone should leave home by train, if they can. And come back the same way.
Trains go slow.
They clank and rumble with conspicuous effort, as though it takes great power to pull you away from home. They arrive at a stately pace, as though delivering a precious and breakable cargo. Planes feed you into jetways, carpeting, white terminals, and a driveway. When you step off a train, home is the first thing your foot hits. Ideally, it's night - summer, if you're lucky.
