    I remember trying to find quarters to call my mom to come pick me up.

      We had an automated reverse charges number we’d call from the payphone. You got to say your name and the system would then call my parents at home and ask “Do you accept a reverse charge call from ‘mumimatthestation’?”

      Then my mum would hang up and come get me from the station.
