Sep 08, 2011: Trainspotting

Thurmon is fascinated by the subway trains that pass by the hydro corridor where he gets to run in the long grass (the subway runs aboveground at this end of the line). He almost always stops to watch them go by, so yesterday I took him for a closer view. We stood on the pedestrian stretch of the overpass over St. Clair, where there's just a few feet beyond a chain link fence separating him from the train. I thought he might be scared getting that close to such a huge and noisy vehicle, but it wasn't a problem at all. We also watched the traffic passing directly below us on St. Clair - which he found less alarming than walking alongside it.
