Dull scenery aside, you go to the Observation Car, hoping for better views down the line. Besides, everything looks cool from panoramic windows. You pass loading docks, parking garages, and the recycling center, seeing old graffiti from a new perspective. City gives way to suburbs, the airport, the warehouse ring, and finally nature. Probably. You fell asleep just past the outlet mall and woke up in a tunnel. The train exits into sunlight, mountains in the distance, and approaches a station.

You decide to stretch your legs and check out the station. It might help you wake up. You pass a queue of new passengers, all eccentrically dressed. Maybe there's a music festival down the line. You look around for some brochures to take and ignore while scrolling your phone. A man in the corner juggles souvenir pens. With time to kill, you consider your options. You'll be on the train long enough. You should soak up some local color. Or flavor. Or 30 minutes worth of something local-ish.
