This is Gallup, New Mexico. We had a smoke stop here.
Unless the station is a place where the crew changes, your station stop is very brief. Do not exit the car!
You can find out when smoke breaks are going to happen, because they have to change out the crew, maybe add some fuel to the engines and (of course) take out the trash.
It could be upwards of a half hour or so. I remember I walked around Albuquerque once, because it was almost an hour for our stop.
A free stop, totally cool.
If you are getting on a train outside the departure cities, make sure you immediately start to head to the car that has an attendent at the door. If you do not make enough noise, they will leave you behind, since they don't know who is getting onto the train. I have seen that happen multiple times and it is never pretty.
Enjoy the local vibe at whatever small town you are departing from and don't miss the train.
