52 - 3 - Estimate

<Land on the roof of the train!> I called. <We'll let the train lose them for us!>

Imagine it.

The train whizzed beneath us but always pulling ahead. At my estimation it was traveling at approximately forty to forty-five miles per hour, creating the interesting optical illusion that there was no separation between cars. And that we were no longer moving at all.

In short, the train was traveling far, far faster than any of us could fly.
