I believe that the train will be a added boost to Tavares downtown. The local businesses will profit greatly.

The horn why is the horn going almost nonstop and so loud... I feel violated sitting in my backyard after litening to that horn for 5 minutes... The horn is being used as a toy not as a safety feature as it was meant to be...
