This will present a challenge to Steamrail or anyone else trying to
run a Stony Point Vintage Train: run to Stony Point, offload
passengers, then I suppose run all the way back to Somerville (is that
still available for crossing trains?) to stable until it's time to go
home.

Seems about right, though..... reduce rail infrastructure in the face
of massive expenditure on roads.

(Thinks: maybe they're not pulling up the track in case the privateers
want it?)
