South Station Arrival
Just about a year into the absorption of the New Haven by Penn Central you would never know it by this three car RDC train arriving at South Station this Christmas Eve. For some reason, as evidenced by the missing semaphore blades, some of the trackwork has been rendered inoperative or has been removed.
Photographed by Ron DeFilippo, December 24, 1969.

Train People
The sunlight, in broken pieces, enters the train through branches;
the evening sun, gentle and timid climbs down, down, slowly—
not wanting to depart.
Some office-goers exchange laughs,
and there's a mother with her child
gazing at the mobile landscape;
maybe, reminiscent of a happy memory.
The two hours feel like 2 years
as the strangers accompany the strangers.
Office-goers talk of their day,
or how overtime swallowed them whole
one day while they had
their daughter's birthday.
Sweat mixes in the air with people
shifting to fit in like jigsaw pieces
as the rest of the seats are taken.
There's no sadness in their eyes
but flashes of curiosity listening to
some incident or story.
Even among strangers, they find
a familiar idea they share—
and that's how friendship begins.
