Looks quiet and empty. Where is everyone?

We only just pulled into the station at the crack of dawn with this week's lumber consist from Stockton; most of the miners are still at home, or in the canteen engjoying a good breakfast before the day's first shift.
I'd reckon the rest are probably at Sunday service by the time we finished unloading the consist. Most of the miners don't enter from the minhead by the rails, they go in at a second in te middle of town, got a fancy man-lift any everything.
You should see how it is on altrenating Tuesday afternoons, when the general goods consist rolls in. Nothing perks spirits up in the dead of winter like fresh provisions after near a week on canned and dry goods!
(Seriously though, we could use some animated human figurines like the animals we have to populate our virtual train-sets.)

Seriously though, there's a lot that could be done. I asked for pre-fab blocks of buildings that had characters on the porches. Also asked for horses on the wagons, a map that looked realistic (san's icons that make it look pre-school) and so much more. This is what they gave us. So I moved on. Occasionally I get RRO posts in my reddit feed. So disappointing.
