“…his day was hijacked with choices to make as he reached the path entrance. One choice was to take the scenic path for a couple of blocks and enjoy some peace and tranquillity before his day got started.”
At the Train Station
“Ben let everyone settle into their resting places before landing in his spot on the platform, doing his best not to disturb the regulars.”
Nature Flying By
“The first part of the journey into the city was Ben’s favorite as the tracks cut a swath through the forest preserve. It was a nice complement to the rumble of the train as, for a few minutes, nature would speed by rather than the upcoming scenery of concrete and steel.”
High Street
“Back looking out the window, Ben realized that he had missed most of the scenic part of the ride as the trees began to become more sparse, revealing High Street, which ran parallel to the tracks.”
Ready for Their Journey
“Ben turned to look back out the window. Another town came and went, and the train rolled through an industrial neighborhood where Ben could see the rail yards with shipping containers being readied for their journeys to places Ben would dream about.”
Here Comes the City
“The train pulled out of the station, and Ben gazed out the window as the skyscrapers of the city began to grow larger and larger in the view.”
A Beautiful Walk Home
On the way home, Ben was able to enjoy the scenic path.
