I can tell you of the neighborhood complaints. Many people complained that the "train" whistled all night and kept them awake. The FWWR did not even run at night and the steam engine rain only during daylight hours. Those people did not know the difference between a steam engine whistle and a diesel whistle and neither did the city fathers.. The whistles they heard came from the diesels of Santa Fe to the south and the T&P -MP to the north. No one apparently wanted to bring those facts up. And there were other nonsensical complaints.

The whole thing was typical @#$%& stuff.
