A Touch of Betrayal
“Africans clambered up the sides of the steel cars and onto the roofs to tie on produce headed for market—burlap sacks stuffed with charcoal, wicker baskets filled with live chickens, and cardboard boxes brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Vendors carrying trays filled with every...thing from grilled corncobs to Chiclets chewing gum hawked their wares at the open train windows.
Two Indian women in bright red and blue silk saris climbed aboard with their black-haired children in tow. A Sikh gentleman in a starched white turban walked by, pausing to glance at the huge gold watch on his wrist.
