6. I love trains, both for watching and traveling.

It's my preferred mode of travel between Providence, RI, and NYC, especially. When my boys were small, my aunt from lower CT would hop on the train to RI for wonderful visits. All my memories of trains are good ones - even when getting "stuck" for hours in a very crowded train after Christmas break and heading back to school.

Late at night when the night is quiet, I can hear the whistle of the last trains coming into the town. It's always so plaintive.
