Waking up in the middle of the street in Strasbourg at three in the morning was not the type of vacation they had in mind. They had planned the rail trip for months. It wasn’t the Orient Express but it wasn’t like hopping a freight train in the U.S.
It was all part Gary’s rehabilitation. Poor guy was terribly afraid of dark enclosed spaces. This was their first practice run.
“Listen Gary, when a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.”
Oh Danny Boy! 
It sounds like help from friends is not enough. He needs to get more intense help before it turns tragic. Jumping off trains is risky behavoir to say the least. Well done, Danny. 🙂 — Suzanne

Professional help, I think. And maybe another pair of hands to help. Nicely done.
