I tried a slightly different route this morning, since I've learned that the Creek Trail is technically closed until sunrise. Oops. This seemed to shave a few minutes off the time; good enough that I had a moment of panic when I rolled up in time to see a northbound train depart.

Me: "I'm bigger than you."

Him: "Hey, this thing is pretty heavy..."

Me: "And it's not my truck."

Him: "Good point."
