wanderlust

Has anyone here ever rode the rails, or wanted to for a while? Seems like it’s all i’ve been thinking about lately. There’s this train that passes by my apartment every night, slowly. It’s easy to get caught up in the romance of it: jumping right onto that train with my camping gear. Probably loses its charm after a while though…

When I was a kid, my friends and I used to hop on freight train that passed though our neighborhood. It would pass by slow enough to hop on it. We would only ride it for few blocks then jump off. It was so much fun.
