I wanted to reflect the disused or abused nature of local RR track... Most issues ended up being track/grade/small-bridge repairs or clearing obstacles.

This is when the group is vulnerable: When they're stopped. That's when the locals start showing up, as a chuf-chuf-chuffing locomotive is idling on the tracks. Not subtle.
