I used to live in Michigan and the line from NY City to Chicago
(Century Limited) ran through our back yard. Those things take
at least 5 to 10 miles to stop.

My father was a train buff and somehow managed to get me
a ride in the engine to Chicago and back. They stopped behind
the house, picked me up, we went to Chicago where they switched
crews and they brought me back and dropped me off at the back
yard again.
