Myk Murphy:
Good morning, fellow travellers. A guy i know here at work was deported from the czech republic a few years ago. He's canadian, and needed a visa, but he was on a train and they didn't stop him. Well, they stopped him a few train stops into the country, and pulled him off the train at gun point. A single train car ride back to the border.

Yeah well there are armed army men on the trains. They come in and check your passport holding a machine gun. NO more tolkens in NYC.

Myk Murphy:
Some dominican rasta guys were on the train, too, and tried to bribe the soldiers to let him stay on the train. The soldier didn't play ball.
