When you&#8217;re riding in one of the normal carriages you look out sideways and the world slides by like a cartoon strip. The train speeds up and slows down and stops and speeds up again and you don&#8217;t really know why. You are incubated and secure. Riding up the front, looking forward, the world is coming at you.
