...Arriving spang on time at 7:50 p.m. in New Orleans' Union Terminal, the Crescent disgorges its passengers, many in search of taxis and buses and busses. An unhurried few, passengers and employees, linger on the platform to shake hands and say goodbye. Steward Steve Cosmos refuses a tip. "See you in Mexico," says the retired railroad man. "God bless!" says Luther King. That night, in the opulence of the Pontchartrain Hotel, the immobile voyager cannot sleep. He misses the creaks and bleeps and wee-hour talk of yesterday. Or maybe yesteryear? - Michael Demarest
