“Son! What...” Hearing the sharp change in his father’s tone, he scrambles to his feet. Then squats, and gently places the delicate railroad people back into its containers.
A comfy window seat and a golden first-class ticket. The young boy sips hot cocoa out of a large holiday mug, watching the rail wheels roll along the track. He travels through endless tunnels, through thick cottonwood trees. Past Reds Resale, Beverley’s Coffee, and The Sweet Shoppe. Picking up speed, the train starts the turn into the city’s Industrial Park when several cars go off the rails, sliding down into the valley.
