I was picking up my future spouse at the train station one time when she was coming up to visit and she had a reason to be very excited about this trip.  She had already sort of said yes and was now getting the engagement ring after it had been sized.  She was so excited that she left her luggage on the train and didn’t notice until it had already left.  A transit officer noticed us reading a map in our car as we tried to figure out the train’s next stop.  He called his counterpart at the next station who retrieved the luggage and waited for us to arrive to collect it.  I guess it was just meant to be, since it was her special weekend.  For years after this I picked her up at this station and never again saw a transit officer there, except for this night.  Are there really transit officers, or were they ghost?
