Shifting Gears

The Old Nyskayuna Train Station




There was a time you could ride the train
From Schenectady to Troy
And all points in between
Right alongside the river


Train service on this line ended in the early 1970's
The tracks are gone - and there is a bicycle path there now
It is 10 miles (17km) from here to my home
(though I have not covered the distance by bicycle in quite some time)
This little train station is being restored

A simpler time
When you got a ride from the farm
In a horse and buggy
To this little place
And connected to the world
I wonder how many local farmboys
Stood in this room
Wondering what it would be like
In New York City
Gettysburg
Paris
Germany
Korea
Viet Nam

I just popped in with some extra commas in case you are running short of them. It's part of gods plan that you have plenty of commas on hand. He, he, he.
