A New Page for the Driver’s Log

A New Page for the Driver’s Log -- The crew of the late-morning Ivano-Frankivsk–Stryi train is getting ready for departure.

On the driver’s desk: a bottle of mineral water, an open pack of cigarettes — the typical companions of a train driver in Central or Eastern Europe. -- Ivano Frankivsk, 8 May 2010, 7:34
