At home we agreed about leaving home at tenish. The train would departs at 10:40. My uncle is always in time. We left at 10:00. We arrived at station at 10:34. But the doors were closed, the whistle of the train sounded. I immediately left the car and ran toward the first car. Would be the conductor there, I guessed. I was almost in front of the car shaking my hands and jumping, hoping he/she could see me. I just have this weekend to visit Chicago.
My uncle jumpt to one of the doors while the train was moving and he was knocking. Then AMTRACK's employee appeared and told us a couple of words which of course I couldn't understand.
Suddenly people left theirs cars which were in the parking area. I realised they were going to the train as I was. I was really embarassed. But how could we know? There wasn't a real station, but a train stop. And we just heard the whistle and saw the train moving.
But, at the end, is everything ok. When I wrote this post I was at the train going to Chicago. I thought at that moment: I hope who have seen me trying to stop the train is not in this car right now!
