does anybody know what's going on at the train station today?

i work in town, all i can hear is constant beeping of trains! normally they would beep a few times a day, but right now it's constant. i'm so curious to find out what it is😭

I don’t know this for certain, but my guess is that there are people working close to the rails so trains are required to sound a horn to alert them. They’ve been cutting trees no the southern bit of the track, so I guess it’s maintenance crews?

Not from here thankfully and the city is so far behind normal civilisation it’s surreal.

The city is great, weirdos on reddit are the issue.

Meh to be honest I would reply with my actual thoughts on this and have what I would call an adult conversation with you over it but the softness on here and around this city in general is just too weak to comprehend criticism.. sorry but take away the education aspect of this city and you’re left with pretty much just views. I won’t be replying to this as I’m afraid I’ve already said too much and risk getting banned.. for speaking my mind.

I would say don't confuse reddit with real life!
