Dear Catherine:

You wanted to know about Anna's train station, and how it appears today.
Give me a day or two to try to find my 'notes'. My main disappointment, in
this superficial, immediate response-from-memory, is that Russian railways
no longer uses steam engines, as railways still do in China. Most of the
great European stations--in Paris, say.... or London.... or Venice, ah,
Venice, but Venice is another story!--positively scream out to be used as
literary settings. All they'd need to be a perfect place for aspiring
19th-century novellists would be steam trains from China.
Cheers,
Paul
OSR--Tim tells touching stories about hanging out around Holden's ersatz
bunk in New York's GREAT Grand Central Station (the big wooden 'bunks' have
since been cleared away, lest any homeless person personally offend the
Mayor), but I should maybe leave his storytelling to him....
