I'm at Milan. Thought I was being clever by going to a small town far away. Nope. Nowhere to park. :)

EVERY train gets scanned before it crosses the border. Besides, if they didn't scan the train, it probably would be used for some nefarious purpose of that nature.
Feel that Christmas cheer and take the joke, scrooge! :lol:

Definitely a foam fest at Milan. Dispatcher told northbound Q120 (or was it 170?) to make extra noise for the people waiting.
