VIA 72 lumbers into Chatham, stopping at the historic CN station. With the flowers bloomed in their boxes the bleak future of this station seems to be so far away. Soon it will be an unmanned station, no more days of walking up to the ticket counter, soon you'll just be swiping your plastic credit card. One more of the small remnants of rail travels romantic days will fade away. The grey cloud to the West almost foreshadowing the change.
