Sad Train

It’s too bad the trains in Japan, about which I’ve written much in the past few weeks, can also be used in this way. I believe this happened along part of the line I took between Kurashiki and Kansai just a few days before.

    “Three other trains on the JR Kansai Line were also delayed, affecting about 1,500 people.”

    Japan’s economy is in the toilet. Suicide is not uncommon in any country during a depression.
    It’s sad that twenty years ago, the Japanese, like IBM, had jobs for life. The have’s and the have not’s are moving farther apart.

    Sadly, trains everywhere can be used that way. My father-in-law used to be an engineer for Union Pacific and has some horror stories about people standing in the middle of the tracks, waiting to get run over.
