Train Home

My family and I were on some sort of tour or at some sort of event in a city I didn’t really recognize. At some point I got separated, and had the idea to ride the train that went through the city to get to where we were supposed to meet. I rode the train that I knew would take me to my destination, but for some reason got off briefly. While off, the train started to move again and I couldn’t hop back on. I managed to hitch a ride with some friends/acquaintances (I don’t exactly remember who, but I think they were kids from my old school whom I went on a school trip with) and they offered to catch me up. We hit heavy traffic due to the event and waited while the train crossed through the streets in front of us. When we started to move again I realized I had just missed my opportunity to easily catch the train, and dashed out of the car quickly saying goodbye. I ran after the train which went down a large road void of any other vehicles (I assume the event was attracting most of the attention of the people). I chased after the train until I suddenly ran into my family, who had been looking for me. Together we went to our destination, and I found the people who had helped me and gave a less rushed thanks.
