Ridin’ The Rails

On the train again.

After the mess Monday night trying to get out of Salt Lake on the new Frontrunner trains I decided to wait until the trains are no longer free. Today is the first day where you have to pay to ride. This morning I awakened with a sense for adventure, so I paid my $6 for a round trip pass on Frontrunner and Trax. The ride to work was fine. I left my local station at 8:10 and was stepping off Trax a block away from X96 at about 9:05. It was fun watching the stopped traffic in Davis County on I-15 as we flew past it at 79 MPH. The real test will be this evening when I try to leave during rush hour. Hopefully they’ve adjusted to accommodate the throngs of commuters leaving Salt Lake at 5 pm.

$6 ain’t bad. I spend about that much on gas for a round trip to work, plus I miss all the traffic. And I’m on a train! Did I ever mention that I love trains?
