Stations come in many shapes. Some dominate skylines, some bustle with constant motion, others hide themselves in the ebb of commuter traffic. And then there’s a station like Route 128 — unassuming, functional, quietly efficient. It’s the kind of place where your journey begins not with fanfare, but with relief: you’ve made it, and everything ahead feels possible.
Morning Light and the First Steps
Arriving early, the parking lot is still half-dark, the sky just hinting at dawn. You drive off the highway, guided by signs and gentle street lighting, and turn into entrance lanes that feel familiar, even welcoming. A garage stands ahead: simple, solid, with spaces for many cars. You park, lock up, and step onto pavement that leads you without confusion toward the station entrance.
Inside, the air is slightly cool, clean. Big windows let the daylight creep in. Ticket kiosks glow softly. You can see seating areas, clear signage, a path toward platforms. There’s no rush—only a soft hum of early arrivals, muffled footsteps, the click of wheels on tile.

You take a seat by a window. Coffee in hand, you glance at the boards: times, platforms, any notes of delay. A few commuters drift in—some with laptops, some reading, some just quietly waiting. There’s space between you and others, comfortable breathing room.
Outside, tracks run parallel and straight, rails glinting in the morning. In the distance, you hear the soft rumble of a train approaching. Its presence announces itself before arrival: vibration, light, distant horn, then the hiss of brakes and steel meeting rail. Doors open. Some board, others disembark. The platform breathes life.
