I loved every one of them, appreciated every out-of-the-ordinary aspect, and experienced every one of them as if it were the last one, because I knew it was too good to last for ever. Brian, I appreciated, and even became very excited and anxious, about every out-of-the-ordinary aspect of each trip. I probably still would. But the amount of out-of-the-ordinary to merely routine outside the rolling stock itself is probably 1:40. If the purpose of MOD trips is to showcase the unusual, they can be run as three or four hour trips highlighting one or two unusual aspects of the system. How much longer is sanely necessary? Going from the F line to the J line, or going from the J line to the L line on the same train isn't something I will regale my coworkers with. Traveling on the express track of the Dyre Avenue line isn't going on my resume. "Ya wanna ride Track BJ1 with me?" is NOT a pickup line. If these are such earth-shattering and deeply-chronicled memories to you, you may be interested in membership in the Raccoon Lodge. If you win Raccoon of the Year, you can open the first clam at the annual clambake, pilot the Raccoon boat past Raccoon Point, and get you and your wife free burial plots in Bismarck, North Dakota. You may even be called upon to throw the first bag of water over the hotel balcony at the Raccoon Convention. Those are some REAL accomplishments! Perspective. |
