A luggage tag for train 21

Dash for the train successful, finding forward facing seats together less so. Still, being on the train an hour earlier than expected is a proper win. We’re upstairs on a double-decker train again. A just-toddling toddler entertains us. Repeated seat changes due to squatting in reserved seats as there’s no way to know which ones are reserved. Sun blazes, air-con passable. Re-reading Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town. Orchards, beautiful fields, inviting lakes, millions of trees. Yards filled with lumber. Noon comes and suddenly the families around are all eating lunch. One of the kids has a device playing a pipe organ whistle-type tune that grates after half an hour. A steam train sits on Kervo platform. We’re back I Helsinki in time for lunch.
