Hornby's Corner

Hornby's Corner, I overheard as our train whizzed past the clanging railway crossing to the commuter station ahead. Used to be a station, with the best ice cream in the world. In the summer, we would come after church on Sunday. We had contests to see whose cone lasted longest as we watched the trains rumble by and waved to the engineer and the brakeman in the caboose. Dad sold the farm years ago, they live in a condo nearby. Last summer, we took the kids to the Corner but the ice cream wasn't very good.
