Sisters of Rail, Chapter 5 picks up where the interlude left off and transforms it into a critical juncture with some second-hand recounting of the succeeding events. It is an interesting way to break the structure of the work, and allows for opposing personalities to be juxtaposed and examined in a tight space, which turns out to be very funny in places.
