Meep, meep.



Running Rails.


Normally the train is on time, if not a few minutes early. Overall, I consider myself impressed with New Mexico's first attempt at a commuter rail, something that has been needed between Albuquerque and Santa for a long, long time. I've gotten used to the train by now. I almost look forward to riding the train in the morning. It gives me an hour to relax before work, read and drink some Starbucks. It makes me feel close to my grandfather, my dad's dad. He loved trains. I'm sure he would have loved the Railrunner.

But, sometimes, the train completely blows it. Today, a water pump gave out on the engine, so we had to wait for another train to come and pull us into Santa Fe. I was an hour and a half late for work.

Gross.
