South Station “.....I was being pulled away from home. Apart from the cold and the blinding light on the fallen snow, there was nothing of great significance in my going, nothing momentous except that as we drew into South Station I was a mile nearer to Patagonia. .... As the Lake Shore Limited pulled out of Platform 15, I felt I was still in a provisional state.....and that only I was riding the train to the end of the line.” [ Paul Theroux. The Old Patagonian Express]
