Problems here long before us

Here we go again!

Locate in Crescent Beach and then complain about the trains.

Did letter-writer Paul Olson move to Crescent Beach before the railway was built?

I’m not sure anyone did.

It was likely that the railway facilitated the community in the first place.

I agree that the long trains are a problem for residents, especially in emergency situations, but long trains have been a fact of life for many years here.

If you locate in a place that has only one access road – and that is crossed by a railway – there is no rationale in then complaining about the inconvenience the trains cause.
