The train sounds like a great place to write. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I always enjoy your stories!
Back when I traveled more for work, I liked taking the train, but definitely got stuck a few times lol. Once, there was a couch on the tracks, which took about 30 mins to clear. Once, the train made it about a quarter mile from the station before breaking down and we were stranded on a draw bridge for a few hours. (After they fixed it, the train thankfully returned to the station to let off passengers--mostly business travelers--who didn't want to proceed with the journey, including me.)
I don't make that trip anymore so no train writing for me. I try to write for at least 30 mins most weeknights after dinner. I'm on a Discord server that runs nightly, timed writing sprints so that helps give me a place to "show up" and people to check in with so I can be consistent. (None of my fellow sprinters watch FK, but they're nonetheless very encouraging.)
I'm going for two fest stories. We'll see if I get there. With one of them, if I finish it, you'll see that one of your proposed prompts, in addition to one of the selected prompts, influenced it 😁.
