Plot Outline

Leah takes the same monotonous journey to work every day. The only respite from the dull routine is the possibility of seeing the man she finds attractive. Using the power of nostalgia she reminisces about happier times as a child, playing amongst the forgotten and rusting hulks of steam trains from a lost era, when being friends with a boy was simpler.
