The mid-morning Wait


This could well be Gossau, one of numerous small sleepy towns or large villages stretched along the mail railway line between Zurich and Saint Gallen in the far North East near the German and Austian border of Switzerland. I expect nothing much changes and Post Buses still wait for trains to arrive before heading towards desolate sounding places like Waldkirch. I expect the church is still the same too but as elsewhere with good roads and modern transport it may still be quite peaceful but is no longer wild. Often if I was changing trains and had a few minutes to spare I would check out what was outside the station like this local Contractor's Volvo working for the PTT, a bus I also saw one day in St.Gallen too. Perhaps more of interest today are the Saurer trucks in the background as they are all part of the nostalgia for that unique Swiss-i-nes that is quickly melting like the snow.
