Rapid Express
Posted on January 28, 2005
Without checking the sign I scrambled down the steps at Shimo-Kitazawa station yesterday and jumped on the first train. Little did I know I had caught the mythical Rapid Express. I heard the rumors, and thought they were just that --- an urban legend. It couldn't be true, a train that didn't make a single stop between Shimo-Kitazawa and Shin-Yurigaoka.
In one foul swoop all wrongs committed by Odakyu in the past; every late, crowded, stinky body odor heated train had now been forgiven. Every train that shut its door on my foot, bag and miscellaneous body part had been forgotten.
