[Magdalen] stuck at the drawbridge

[Ann Markle]

Yep.  Spent a good part of my youth being "railroaded," as we called it.
TH used to be called "the crossroads of the midwest" because of so many
railroad lines.  Lots of coal was mined and shipped out by train, too.
It's considerably better than it used to be for east-west trains with the
construction of big overpass roads on 3rd street and Fruitridge Ave.,
though they are on opposite ends of town.  The north-south lines, and the
tracks that run through the middle of town are still a problem.
