| Still again, there was the principal
train sport the one which it is really
| almost too W. X. to mention, the
daily 21a doz, which we got morn
ings fighting for a place in the wash
room, while getting at the same time
a memory test by trying to take all
our stuff in with us and to get out
of the jam with same.
How anybody can complain there
,in't nothing to do on trains and
| hat you don't get no exercise,
personally, myself, don't understand.
When I remember the amount of
| fishing I done under the seats for
sliding suit cases, and then sliding
around with the suit case while
fshed for things in 'em, why my
back aches.
Three times a day we would go
stand in the corridor of the car be-
! fore the diner in a hallway probably
designed for snakes only, if you con-
| slider the width. Well anyways, we
| found that standing in it in line on
our own feet and on everybody elses
was certainly great time killer. Also,
ofcen, corn killer, especially when the
conductor had to pass through. After
I seen ours do it twice 1 commenced
to wonder why he kept SO fat, l should
of thought he would of been massaged
away to shadow.
Once inside the only remaining
lunch wagon which actually moves
on wheels. the waiter, roast beef
medium, and preserved figs would kill
US a little time and our digestion. and
we would stretch out our parking
limit at the table considerably by pag-
ing stewards. conductors, etc, and
saying please mister, where are we
now? What station is this? Or for
variety, hey. please, what time do we
get into Slippen Falls? Or some
place.
But the excitement of eating very
directly after another family wasn't
nothing compared to finding our way
back to our own car after. In fact,
chief occupation Of railroad travelling
Is playing hide-and-seek with your own
pullman. Once you leave it, it sure
Is hard to find again unless you caught
the name correctly when you was
first introduced.
REATING the bunch to the observa-
~ tion car was another good game
Like bridge. it strengthens the mind,
on account it sure takes strength of
mind to keep your seat when the
same parties come back to the door
and glare at you the fourth or fifth
time. But a person can learn to do
it, in fact I heard a man on our
train died of hunger rather then give
UP his observation car seat.
