Railway comes into town

With the aproaching of the new decade Los Angeles is introduced to a new concept - the railway.
The Federal goverment has decided that it cannot keep its cities separated and has launched a massive railway program. For the last few years there was a real boom of clearing and leveling land, laying tracks and chasing the Indians out of there homelands, all at once. Now this new wave of transportation has reached LA.
Since Eastside is closest to the already existing railroads, the rails that are going to be installed are funded by the Federal goverment and are running as straight through the farmland in the area as possible. The only thing that the town must pay for, is the extension reaching its industrial quarter, and to provide the workforce for the build.
Layout plan for the Eastern Railway Grand Line, passing through Eastside

The installment of the new line is causing concern in the other two towns in the plains - Chinatown and Malibu. So, after long and tiring debates over few boxes of Old Tennessee No.7, the town elders have come up with a decision - to build a railtrack between Chinatown and Malibu! But, since this track is not funded by the Federal goverment, the way it is going to pass through the lands is much different.
Layout plan for the Chinatown-Malibu Rail Connection Track, linking the towns

As it can be seen from this picture, it will go through some very narrow gaps between the farms, almost without any destruction of crops and farmland.
As soon as this plan is voiced out to the people of both Malibu and Chinatown, it is put in the action. When experts from the capitol come into Eastside for ground evaluation and leveling, they are called quickly into the other two towns, where they can give an expert's opinion about the future rail connection.
