RECOLLECTIONS OF PAST TRAIN TRAVEL: AN ESSAY
Someday," I said to myself, "when I am rich and have nothing to do, I think I shall try and ride on every passenger train I can--and go to as many cities as I can, spending very little time in the city itself, but more in the clubcars and the elevated observation cars of the different trains." No, I didn't say it quite that way, but you get my drift if you are an adult reading this text.
We had so many dreams in youth, too many. There was no way they could all materialize, right? Sometimes I wonder if, as Americans, we create too many goals and dreams for ourselves, concentrating on one goal and then another, filling our minds with ambitions that would take several lifetimes to fulfill.
