I was taking the train into Toronto from Burlington, with EM. We were coming through the Etobicoke area.
Somehow, I had walked out the front of the train, and was standing outside the front door, holding on for dear life. The engineer saw me out there, but let me stay out there. The thing is, although I was afraid for my life, I didn’t want to come inside.
There was a stopped train on the tracks, and we were heading straight for it. I was worried that we were going to plow into the back of the train, and that I would die, but we were able to switch to the track on the right of the train, just in time.
We continued on, to Exhibition station, where we stopped to pick up more passengers. I could have gone inside the train at this point, but was content to ride outside the front door.
We then went on to Union Station, where I departed the train, with EM, and we walked through the Royal York Hotel, and on through the underground to work.
