Riding Rut

The train has been running along pretty much as scheduled for the last few days.  No one ever acknowledges when the train pulls out or arrives on time.  There for awhile it seemed like such a rare occurrence that it was news when departures and arrivals occurred as scheduled.  Now the riders have been lulled into thinking that the problems have been worked out and late arrivals and departures and breakdowns are things of the past.  I'm not so optimistic.  But I do appreciate the last week of uneventful commuting and I look forward to many more weeks like it.
