Are you taking a giant monkey to your grandson? Or is it just a fellow passenger?

Taking Monkey, who used to ride in mom-mom's (that's me) Napmobile with my grandson, to see if he (and his mom) wants to keep him. Of not, then Monkey will ride back east with me on the trains.
Monkey comes in handy, letting me know I'm going into the right roomette.

Change trains. I can only think of 3 trains off hand that split. And I would not be referring to the split trains as separate trains.

Lake Shore Limited 448/449 (Boston section) splits/joins in Albany,NY to 48/49 (New York section)

Texas Eagle 421/422 (Chicago section) splits/joins in San Antonio, TX to 1/2 (Sunset Limited) (New Orleans section)

Empire Builder 27/28 (Portland section) splits/joins with 7/8 I'm Spokane, WA

You speaking of splits reminded me of something connected to freight trains rather than passenger that happened here back in the 1950's. We used to have our Halloween Parade go along what was the main street which crossed the railroad tracks. (The route has since changed because of different highway through town and no longer crosses the tracks.) One year there was trouble on the line elsewhere and a freight stopped during the parade. Once it became obvious that it was not going to clear for a long time the actually split the train to let the parade go through! I remember it happening but not the exact year.
 
On the Metra, waiting to depart Ogilvie. I just got done riding the reverse from a couple weeks back, when I rode from downtown to my home. Now I am doing the exact opposite.
 
Still packing. Labeling boxes. I don't mind it one bit.
 
Reading my mom's friend's book with my roommate, marking typos and errors and such like he asked to be sent back so he can edit it.

You are providing a very valuable service. I know I am inclined to see things I have written the way I expect them to be rather than the way they sometimes turn out.
