is there an unwritten rule that when people board trains in the old days, they have to run to catch it while it's moving?

did nobody ever not get on board trains before they started to leave the station back then??

There was a kid in Portugal who jumped on the closed door of a train we were on as it was leaving the station - Reagen Nov 27, 11:16
corollary: I *hate* sitting on the plane, waiting for someone who showed up late to the airport. - Beryllium Nov 27, 11:15

only boring people. all the interesting people jumped on them as they were pulling out of the station. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 11:14 1
- boring smart people who know it's not worth the extra time saying goodbye on the platform to risk getting run over by a moving train -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 11:15
