Train love
Dan Turner's long-distance journey on the rails reveals his love for his wife as well as for the Canadian landscape.
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad seemed to go almost everywhere.
It connected communities large and small, it connected people and a country.
In the 21st century, there are people for whom the long distance train is still almost sacred, people who forsake the
speed of the air for the gentle rocking of the railroad.
There's a romance there, to be sure. All kinds of romance.
Dan Turner's essay is called Train Love.
