| ANY TRAIN CAN BE
ON ANY TRACK AT ANY TIME
It may not be worthwhile,
therefore,
to leave your house ahead of
schedule,
or to look both ways as a
precaution
before crossing the railroad
bed.
And if passengers can't trust
their
timetables or station
announcements,
so that destinations and points
of
departure exist only in theory,
imagine
how your mind would be boggled
were you the conductor or,
worse,
switchman---though perhaps
without
any rules, expectations, or
cares, your job
might be quite easy. In either case,
as customer or operator, please
plan
to purchase plenty of reliable
life
insurance after mapping out the
many
fine attractions you wish to
see.
Conversely, to avoid undue
confusion,
it's true that you may simply
prefer
to stay at home. That, in fact,
may be the best or only way
to sidestep a head-on
collision.
