There is no weirder (but still very hot) feeling that is getting hit on when you immediately take off your suit head 🥴 His line that stuck the most with me is "well if you ever want my wood it's always a train ride (Borealis) away ;)" which apparently works very well on me 🫣

Also TIL the parking brakes on the 7000s are so weak and faulty that you can drag them for a few stations at 55 without even noticing it until the plume of brake dust catches up to the train.

This is why I like using all three agencies to the fullest extent bc you're not pigeonholed into one part of Chicagoland like just the city or just one suburb. It unlocks wayyyy more things to do. Like I've seen *most* of the red area and the city, it's not hard to do!

The Temsa TS45 was nice, our driver was very direct and concise about his job, and the seats were more comfortable than what's in a Novabus. But it cost more, was vastly slower, less frequent (4rts a day), and dropped me off in a way more inconvenient location!

Had a bit of a rocky start, VIA's reliance on plentiful staffing hit the worst when we had *one* person from the crew missing so we left Toronto an hour late but the 90mph/150kph line speed in some areas helped us reel in some minutes back but still late.
