 Went out today to brave the cold, waiting on a train...was below freezing...approx. 20 degrees or less...but on to the Challenge.

I chose a song title...

"Train in the Distance" is the seventh track on Hearts and Bones, a 1983 album by Paul Simon. It is his fifth album in his solo career.

The album was originally intended to be a Simon & Garfunkel reunion album called Think Too Much, following their Central Park reunion concert in 1981, and the world tour of 1982 - 1983. However, creative tensions appeared between the duo during the sessions; Garfunkel supposedly was not comfortable with the personal nature of the songs, and Simon apparently did not want Garfunkel's vocals on the songs. This led to the duo abandoning the project altogether.
In 1983, this album was considered a failure and signaled a low point in Paul's career. However, this album has been re-examined in recent years and is considered to be one of Paul's more important records and a lyrically strong one.

I didn't see the train until I read the title and saw a tiny dot of light, is that the train? I like the color of this picture but I wish the train was visible.
