Early morning view from a train station

October 9, 2009 | Miscellany

At 6 am this morning, the view from the platform of the Fallowfield VIA Rail station was pure yesteryear. Track, waist high grass, then corn field stretching for a mile before blending into vague early morning darkness, and finally capped by the burly frame of the distant Gatineau Hills. If not for the staccato of lights on Greenbank Road, I might never have made it back in time for the train.
