The smell of a cold engine in the yard
Morning yard work before the sun's fully up — that diesel-and-frost smell always gets to me. Not in a good way or a bad way, just a way that remembers things I haven't consciously kept. Been thinking lately how the rails don't need me as much as I pretend they do.

That diesel-and-frost scent gets into your coveralls and stays for days. Some mornings the hydraulics smell like something I should be saying thank-you for, though I never quite manage it.
