The Cult Of The Train


Rivers is really into trains lately, so about once a week I take him down to the train station. There is this group of people that sit in front of the snack bar and discuss trains. They don't go anywhere, they just sit there discuss all things train. They give me the stink eye for invading their space most of the time. Yesterday they discussed the Riverside Rail Fest and how much fun it would be to ride the train to Utah. They don't use real names, there was about 7 of them and they all had weird pet names that they had for each other. One of them was "Scooter Boy", sure enough Scooter Boy rode a women's Trek mountain bike. I had to sneak this shot over my shoulder as they were getting wise to me. I'm probably on the AmTrak no ride list now. When people have sex on an airplane they join the mile high club, these winners probably dream of joining the twelve foot high club.
