Note:
In the time spent since the group has been doing its thing, other events are happening in town. Days ago it was mentioned that the Town to the south was finishing up their rebuild of their railroad connection. This is the second town (200 miles away), not the hidden lab town (first town), that has been doing this. With the railroad rebuild completed, trains can start rolling between the two towns.

High Speed/High Powered Speeders line the train tracks. Several people get out and do work on the rails, cleaning up accumulated crap from the rail beds that covers the rails and can derail a trail.
Quote from Fernando on Jan 1st, 2017, 3:37pm:With this part of the track clear, they are finally able to ride into town, connecting the next southern town with the north.
Quote from Fernando on Jan 1st, 2017, 3:37pm: But again, the railroad connection has been completed, not the rebuild of the train station itself, which is still abandoned... for now.
A rail train does come into town from the north but it rarely stops by and it goes onto a different path to the South-East as mentioned on the post of the convoy ride way to this town. This North-South track will now add to this line and have a station for both lines to stop once it is rebuilt in stages: within a few weeks, a basic station for trains to pick up cargo and passengers on the outside of the station; within a few months, rebuild of the main station with several tracks separating cargo and passenger loading areas; within a year, a second large market area with the surrounding buildings for business, factories and residences. This will increase the size of this town considerably and the connected towns will benefit from the added options this town will have.
But for Jade and her friends, their days are now numbered as they hide and reside in the building(s) of this abandoned area.
RPG:
As Fernando and Moro discuss the options, the town siren alarm sounds off loudly, but yet a strange cheer can be heard coming from the town instead of orders to prepare for battle or disaster over the public address system. They both wonder that this can be.
Within several minutes General Jastrey arrives with great news, “The Southern Train Line Has Been Reestablished! Now we can rebuild our Train Station!”
The look on Jade’s face says it all – awe and fear, that of a home owner finding out he is about to lose their home because a highway is going to run right through it.
