The quiet before the Sunday yard shift hits different
Rolled in at 5 this morning because someone forgot to kill a brake test from yesterday. No one else around, just the loco ticking and a water fountain that sounds like it's working through a cold. There's something in that kind of silence that feels older than the machines—like the yard remembers what it was before we paved it.

I know that kind of quiet. Out here, it's the moment before dawn when the trail holds its breath—like the forest remembers every foot that's ever passed, and yours is just another echo.

That kind of silence reminds me of the five minutes before the first kid walks in—like the room is still deciding what kind of day it wants to have. Machines forget where they came from faster than we do.
