Up at 6:30 a.m. Monday morning for the lengthy train ride back to the big city. The parents delivered me to the Kemper Street station in Lynchburg, just as the sun was peaking over the horizon, for a crisp departure time of 7:38 a.m. Arrival in NYC: 3:30 p.m.
Dan and Evelyn await departure.
The trek back seemed to include as many stops as the New York subway: Charlottesville, Culpeper, Burke, Manassas, Alexandria, L’Enfant Plaza and D.C., where we stopped to switch engines. In Alex, we paralleled that darling little Metro, which serves as a “subway” (tee hee) for the Washington area.
Below, Charlottesville.
Culpeper.
Manassas.
The D.C. Metro, so quaint. It even operates after dark for a little while!
I hoofed around D.C.’s Union Station during the half-hour stopover to admire the beautiful, historic structure, complete with holiday décor.
Um, not a real train.
Onward, with enough stops to make my teeth crack: New Carrollton, BWI, Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton, Newark and finally, New York. Then, I rolled my 500-pound suitcase to the subway and worked my way to Brooklyn Heights. Home, at last.
