The fascinating maze of track runs, switches, tunnels and bridges takes careful coordination and management by members running trains through the towns and industrial complexes. A moving train can disappear on one part of the board into a tunnel and reappear at a distant tunnel opening, as the track also runs beneath the surface.

So, when the band was playing not far from his hometown of Portland on Jan. 18, 1991, he went. The show was in Olympia, Washington, about an hour away from Seattle, the cradle of the emerging grunge scene, in the library of Evergreen State College, an anti-Gulf War benefit concert billed as “no More Wars.” Tickets were four bucks.

On a recent sunny morning, Paul Faust was at the massive monument to the 34,530 soldiers from Pennsylvania who served during those three days in early July 161 years ago. He had a notebook containing lists of his ancestors who served during the battle and a digital SLR camera to photograph the bronze plaques that circle the 110-foot-tall granite monument, the largest such memorial at the national military park, perched atop Seminary Ridge.
The meaning of the battle wasn’t lost on him.

To get that permit – known by its clumsy acronym NPDES – the developer has to allow inspectors to examine the property under consideration to determine whether stormwater runoff would have a detrimental effect on the environment.
When inspectors visited the 16 or so acres in Hopewell Township that Nikolay Ratajczak and his daughter and business partner, Sofia, hope to develop, one of them suspected wetlands around the creek could be a habitat for bog turtles, an endangered species that has over the past 30 years disappeared from 50 percent of the wetlands it once inhabited.

He spoke for 54-minutes, well short of of his usual 90-minute-plus speeches he delivers to rallies. But midway through the speech before a small group of perhaps a couple of hundred invited guests and employees packed into the cavernous, yet steamy machine shop, he appeared to lose the crowd. People in the audience responded to his applause lines politely. At the 40-minute mark of his talk, those in the crowd appeared bored. Some were chatting amongst themselves. Others were staring at their phones.
