Wow! So many sensory images. Your description of the conductor mangling the names of train stops, the oily scent of the seats, the juxtaposition between before and now. All so evocative.
Thanks Amie! The conductor I remember from my childhood would always say the words "next stop is" and then would just produce what sounded like random noises when it came to the actual names of train stops.
What a wonderful gem of a piece

So vivid and immersive
