Don’t know if this is ‘trivia’ or just, like, a history lesson but; my little village used to be a major name in rails. We were a major stop for industry and even travel, but certain politicians decided austerity was the way to go for some stupid reason and the town collapsed in almost a single generation because they didn’t update the infrastructure.

Granted it probably wouldn’t have lasted too much longer anyway because rail died in America, but still.
