I know having trains in the US sounds cool and convenient, but at the same time I figure that the ppl making the railroad & whoever was going to profit from it literally wouldn’t care if the tracks went through Native lands and reserves, conservation areas, sacred sites, burial grounds etc. In fact I think that’s EXACTLY where they would plan to put it due to those areas being “uninhabited” & the noise wouldn’t bother anybody they considered worth having an opinion. They already don’t care about consulting us for putting pipelines through our lands & didn’t care to with railroads hundreds of years back, why would they now?
