fog,steam and waiting

there is definitely something to be said about travelling by train...... planes or flights lack a certain charm which the railways have..... its almost romantic.....a majestic steam engine pulling up to a deserted train station at midnight and a man stepping onto a fog enveloped platform with a lonely old gentleman seated on a bench in the corner dozing.... holding onto his bag.... yellow lights ..... which almost seem like spotlights waiting to be cast on the passenger welcoming him into their warmth.... a light drizzle in the grey purple skies.... with stars not just yet ready to disappear....a majestic engine just getting ready to continue on its journey.the couple kissing in the spotlight after what seems like an eternity, in greeting
