Liz, congratulations on your placement in the 'Railroads, A Historical Glance Back' poetry contest. This is a stirring look at ones feelings of an old abandoned depot. Your poem evokes a sad, spooky feel, and I can almost smell a musty odor as I read your poem. The tragic loss of lives is absolutely harrowing. Those who perished deserve to be honored and remembered. Thank you so very much for doing just that in your contribution to our contest! ~BJ
