View from my office window

There is a railroad track that runs along the side of our building. It is one of the busiest in the state of Ohio because it is the only direct connection that runs from Cincy to Indy to Chicago. We get 10 or 12 trains a day past our office. ( you ought to be back in the restroom when a heavy one comes by blasting the horn), but I digress....

One morning I looked up from my work and noticed a train stopped on the tracks. It was unusual because passagenger trains never stop on the tracks.


The longer I looked at it the more curious I got. I could swear that there was a horse in one of the cars
















So I got up and went outside for a closer look



Thats when I ran back inside to grab the camera!


I walked around the front of the train to see this:



The train had stopped to feed and water the animals. I could not believe what I was seeing.

I watched for a while and then walked up to the side of the car.



I was close enough to touch her, but I figured I had better not

A crowd of us had gathered to look and we stood and watched for almost 30 minutes. The train was about 50 cars long, and the end of it was sitting on a bridge, but as I walked along, a person came out and asked me where they were. I thought it was kind of sad that they were travelling so much that they had no idea where they were. Anyway, pretty soon, they closed all the doors and went on their way.

I don't think I will be running away to the circus any time soon

Peace
