I took the train from Chicago to Pt. Huron (the ”Blue Water”) yesterday, and i couldn’t help but notice how pleasant it was!  When i first entered Union Station i was surprised to see a very attractive gentleman hold the door for me. This had me taken back for a solid 15 minutes.  Its very rare that people with symetrical faces hold the door for anyone, but there you go- train people.  Once on the train I was also happy to find a seat with an outlet for my computer and enjoyed a delicious cheese plate at a bargain of only $3.50.

I wonder what makes train people different from plane people.  It’s their lassiez-faire attitude that makes travel better.
