Not on the train, but it took me there. February 11, 2005 will be the ten year mark of when I left Penn Station to go to Miami where my companion was assigned for a prolonged 6 month period that seemed like forever. Taking advantage of a coach sale of $149 NY to Miami round trip, had a Silver Meteor train full of festive happy passengers happy to be going south. Enduring sunsets and my cd player added to the peace of mind and anticipation. The next day we were delayed because CSX was double tracking the Florida portion at the time, and one of the grade crossings shorted, putting us behind two hours. The Silver Star arrived first and my partner didn't see me, because I wasn't on it. Frantic that I had changed my mind and got off to go back, he bugged out the Amtrak clerks at Hialeah, who kept telling him that a second train, normally arriving first, would be coming in a few minutes due to the delay. When it did, he was frustrated but then it quickly turned passionate in three minute long embrace with Genesis engines to the left and right (the other passengers must have thought either what a great Valentine it will be for these two, or, since we are two guys, yuck - that's disgusting.. ).
