kinzelI am, very accurately, the first passenger on the train today --- the front seat in the front car, and I'm typing this as we travel AMTRAK ... the WIFI is and I just stopped typing long enough to crane my head to the left and watch Old Orchard Beach go by...I even caught sight of our usual OOB haunts like The Skylark ...
This is a pretty ride, with trackside rivers showing rapids and ice-bubbles, and the tidal sea-reaches mazes of jumble-block ice overflown by sea-gulls.
At the moment we're going very slow as we head into a siding to allow another train to pass...and another AMTRAK Downeaster passes us going north. The trees around me are blowing heavily in the wind, I look down and across into a snowy bank that's edged by evergreens.
An interesting sight as we pull into the Saco train station -- the wind generator that powers the station is spinning merrily as i sip on the soda that come gratis with the ride in the first car...
More later -- time for lunch!
