Scenes from the Glenbrook train station

I won't pay eight bucks to park at the Stamford train station if I can avoid it, so on the weekends we hop the train at Glenbrook, where parking is free. You have to be on time because the next train won't be along for an hour, but it's worth it on principle alone.
