We went on an historic walk downtown today - called Altar and Hearth, Lower.
When they found out I was interested in trains, I was asked a stumper. After the railway came through town, some people built expensive houses just facing the tracks. In fact one of them (probably more) are on a narrow street and the rails go through the other side of the street. (When you're in the train, you think you're doing street running!)
So why would someone build a house that close to the tracks? (at least, if they weren't a railfan)
