Today I\u00a0interviewed Jeff Woods.\u00a0He had great information regarding modern Carlisle as well as Carlisle\u2019s history and business in downtown Carlisle. I\u00a0found his understanding of the disappearance of Carlisle\u2019s train station particularly interesting.<\/p>\n
According to Jeff Woods, owner of the Whistlestop Bookshop, the train station \u201cwas moved out because of the pressure of the car. It was 1936 and once the cars got at a critical mass in quantity, the train became a hazard to the cars\u2026.And the cars were never a hazard to the train [laughs]. But as soon as you had the train, the wonderful mass transit mover, endangering the cars, people felt that they were being personally threatened. And so people said, \u2018The train\u2019s gotta go\u2019 and they moved it two blocks over and it became a non-passenger entity. I hope at some point people are going to see the trucks as a hazard to the people and therefore the trucks have to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
