Default Re: G. Morse & a Train 'Problem?'

I cannot swear that is 100% accurate, but I understand the Bullet Train is designed to go from Spanish Springs thru Lake Sumter Landing to Brownwood. It's route would roughly parallel Morse St north of 466, cross the Lake Sumter bridge on the existing multi-modal lanes, snake through LSL and the deserted buffalo fields and go south to Brownwood in the Buena Vista median.

One purpose of the train and route is to satisfy those people who do not live close to the Talk Host and have expressed envy of the romantic sounds of trains he hears throughout the day and night. Additionally, the POA has proposed that the prow of the engine of the Bullet Train be removed, leaving a blunt front end to the train. It would then, of course, be renamed the Dum Dum Train.

But, like I said, I can't swear by the accuracy of this. Righ now, it's just a rumor.
