What about the writing is entertaining? Not trying to be dismissive. I found the writing style authentic, factual, a very reporter-style writing. I did not find anything particularly entertaining. What am I missing?
- bombcar 4y agoEntraining doesn't necessarily mean funny, it just means that it was enjoyable to read and not a necessity to read, I guess. (I'm going to leave the iPhone suggested spellcheck).
- toyg 4y agoBits like "You may still have been in bed at this point, and it's perfectly possible you were having the better time."
- distcs 4y agoAh! Thanks. I missed taking that sentence completely in. Need to read it again.

Marshall is very much a Person Who Likes Trains, and in the video he talks with others of that ilk.
