OH WOW, boy can I sympathize with you! I live in a Small town of Hudson, M&O Subdivison, Little jerk-water town of about 5000 people, love it, take the train to school every morning. almost every morning. The Train travels through a few Cities, Hudson, St. Lazare, Vaudreuil, before connecting with the main CPR track in Vaudreuil, Subdivision Vaudreuil. Now the people who live in St.Lazare, are spoiled brats, that would actually, in written word wrote to the gazette and said they would like the RR track done away with all together. Thats merely a crime in itself. to the point, the want no whistles too. It's never going to happen because of the various laws we have in Quebec about Single Track, RR warning devices and whistling. SO when this person wrote this article, about 15 Hudson people wrote to the editor, telling htme that their letter did a diservice to jsut about every person on the planet. The train was a nesesity and had been around for ages, if it isn't broken, leave it alone. The very weird thing though, It's often the people who complain, who have no heritage, who know didaley Squat about their history who complain about the Trains. And to prove my point even further, the most Grumbling comes from the town of Vaudreuil, where a new development had just finished being built, byt the tracks, right behind it to be percise, and the people have jsut moved in 2 or 4 or 6 months ago. these houses are about a foot and a hlaf by two feet, spaced right together so you can see your neighbors bathroom. Oh yes, charming Here in hudson, were all old timers, houses are 60+ years old, and Everyone loves the train, you'll be beaten up if you pop the line "the train is so annoying because..." Nobosy wants the Train whistles to stop, matter of fact osmeone wrote to the Editor, from Hudson, saying that he could rememebr when it was a Steam whistle.. and how that sounded, it was amazing to know that! even i learnt somehting.. FYI, the last steam Train to pass through Hudson was 1960. Also FYI, There were more thne 30 trains a day on the single Track through hudson, mixed freight, and because Hudson is on the water, it used to serve as an ice factory, were ice was cut from the river, put into freezer RR cars and distributed to gouses wiht ice boxes, back in the day... FYI again, The CPR Canadian used to travel through Hudson.. now there is only one train a day, in and out...it's sad, the line used to be a direct link to Ottawa, but that got ripped up and now it's nothing more then a dead end at rigaud. so these people that complain, really know nothing about where their town came from, because frankly, it was most likely the RR that made the town, and that can be said about any town In Canada.
