from Walk Around Hosted by Hudson Gardner
Vic Playlist Apple Music • Spotify TRANSCRIPT A long time ago, I used to have some friends who liked to go around the country by riding freight trains They'd hitch out of Omaha or Lincoln or usually Kansas City and end up in Pennsylvania or Montana, California, Arizona I never caught a ride with any of them I didn't really ever have the chance But I liked to sit with them on the rails and the bridges and watch the trains go by And they'd tell me about the different kinds of cars and which ones were good rides, where they were going, what you had to look out for Maybe that's why when I went for a walk recently and found an old abandoned railroad trestle in the western part of Victoria's downtown in Canada, where I live now. I climbed over a fence and went and sat on it for a while And I've been going back to it, sitting there and watching cars go by, people, a couple of stories up above the ground I don't really have anything else to say but that, just a funny memory, I guess Maybe a reflection about living in an urban place because I've lived out in the countryside for so long now Read more here This is a public episode.
