  2. Typing on the train does sound fun. What typewriter was used for this post? Nice typeface.

  6. Just boarded the train about 30 minutes ago. I'm in my sleeper room, which is quite small, but I expected that.

    I'll be going to sleep shortly, but I'll wish for some train inspiration:)

  7. Hmmm...so, apparently a bridge is still out between Harrisburg and Lancaster, so we had to get off the train in Harrisburg and bus to Lancaster.

    Not too bad, but I should have been getting into Philly in three minutes and as of yet, our train has not started moving.

    A little worse, they don't have a business class car, so I'm in coach. Not nearly the same leg room, but this should be a fairly quick trip.

    And, the cherry, I've sat in the midst of a group of talkative complainers with a New York attitude...could be interesting!

  8. If I had to choose one IBM Selectric font to purchase, it would be this one! Glad to know what it's called at last. I'm fond of sans-serif typefaces and this is a particularly lovely example.
