OK Look at yourself, and pretend the current annum is 1850's. Your developing a Major Railroad- Now Bring yourself back- sitting in front of yourcomputer reading this- How did the developers choose/obtain the land? what did they have to pay for it? Why did they choose to vuild an RR track there instead of maybe 10 feet/ 1 mile N/S/E/W of that location? When i'm Drivivng aorund, I often notice how, RR tracks often split properties, farmers fields ETc.. why would anyone have agreed to that in the first place? I suppsoe my main Question is Why and How. Why there, and How was the land obtained? Also how can it be gauranteed the the land won't heave in 50 years causing a sudden 6% grade? The double CP tracks that ran by my old school- Were about 1 mile away from it. back in 1940- you could see the Tracks from the road attatched to the school- Now you have to climb to the roof of the school to see the tracks because hills have developed, Do trains alter the Earth they are surrounded by? I suppose those are my main questions, Don't feel you have to answer them all- if you can only answer one segemnt, go for it.
