trains

Nothing substantial since the letter, but I did want to discuss something.

The town that I live in is kind of old, and that house was pretty old too. One of the things I saw back there but didn't really think about was train tracks. Except, we don't have trains that run through here. My neighbor has lived here for a long time, to the point where his family has been here essentially since the town has been built, and he has even been told by his grandfather and father that there's never been any trains that have run through here.

I used to ride a train all the time when I was a kid. I would take it to visit my grandparents, who lived in-literally-the middle of nowhere. Spent a lot of summers there. But if the town was the one that made the decision to tear down that house-especially if it's for the cost of saving money-why not pull up these rails if they're not in use and save some money on that front too? And a better question...

If we don't use trains, and according to my neighbor never have, where do these lead to exactly?
