After sitting just out of view for nearly an hour as an Amtrak cooled its heels just out of view in the other direction waiting, I told my daughter that the best way to make a train come was to give up and leave. I packed up my tripod, got in the car, and the train finally moved without warning, passing at excruciating slow speed with plenty of brake noise.
