(Where most other railways purchase a much wider right of way) By the time they went bankrupt and/or sold to the TH&B the TH&B was probably stuck with the railway as it was, and the homes were built up around it. Imagine how many trio's of C424's ran by here during the CP steel train days and the TH&B West locals, and passenger trains... :)<br><br> Today most municipal planning/development requirements include a significant separation distance or a berm between housing developments and railways.
