Triple Junction was on time? No way.

It could have been the Dispatcher. Or it could have been that the stars were aligned. Somehow there was very little congestion in Triple Junction last night, and the passengers didn't have to wait very long to board.

Blue Island Lines always run on time. Well, almost.


It's a full day in Parker Creek.



It looks like the 7:05AM local is already late, as the Parker Creek Agent is checking his watch.

Much later after a very busy day, Bill Andrews at the wood chip plant is signaling the engineer who'll finally get that old truck on it's way to Carl's, the local scrap dealer.
