the fact is that there is this huge metal machine, driven by even greater systems and processes of our economies, and that mighty machine stops for one girl

I don't see it as that big a deal at all. A single train in the middle of nowhere stops for 20 seconds. This is cute, nothing more.

See the many comments here that enumerate economical reasons for why not closing this station is a waste. They are totally right. And that's why I think this is more than just cute :).

Actually, there are not many, and some of them have misunderstood the story, so they are not totally right, making it seem the big deal it's being made out to be. I hope this line doesn't have as many reasons to stop between stations as British trains do, in which case the stopping is even less of a deal.
