Why my town is so stupid!

Thanks, for all of the responses, everyone! In response to the question asked about why the trains are all so slow, it's due to track condition. The speed restrictions came into effect sometime last year. CP doesen't seem to be in a really big hurry to upgrade the track and says it will get done probably in 2005 or 2006. I think that some of the crews occaisonally do go a bit faster than the 10mph limit, though. There's been a lot of resentment toward the railroad because of the slow speeds and that's obviously why the idea of no horns was thought of. Our fearless leader says he really feels that this is something that should be followed up on. As far as the town actually spending money on the project, they're way too cheap! There's enough projects in the town already that they're begging people to give money too. The thought of a letter to the paper did actually cross my mind. I'm not sure if I will, though. The editor of the paper is a pretty smart guy with a level head and has is own column where he will write his opinion, even if sometimes it isn't always what everyone agrees with. I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote in something about it.
