As I settle into my new life as a Floridian, I had an opportunity to take my kid and a friend of his to the Everglades for some swamp rompin' in an airboat.
Afterwards, I discovered his friend really wanted to ride a train. So I took them to Hialeah and "raced" them to West Palm.
Even with a ton of horrible Friday traffic on the 95, I beat them by 30 minutes.
One thing I was REALLY happy to see was a little dinette on Track 2! This was a permanent little stall with good HOT food and great prices.
Then after their arrival we went to the front of the station to see its formerly glorious fascade. Oh, lots of the platform is in dire disrepair with rusted canopies, etc. Sad, but happy to have seen what people saw nearly 100 years ago along the Seaboard.
