The other day, Ellen and Mark Naftalin mistakenly took a train home from Grand Central that did not stop in Southport.
The conductor made an exception, and stopped the train there for them.
“He was so, so friendly,” she says. This small-town type of thing makes a big difference.”
She doesn’t know who the conductor was. I don’t know if what he did was “legal” or not.
Most passengers probably did not notice it at all.
But Ellen and her husband sure did.
