I lived in a small New Hampshire town when the sidewalks rolled up at 9 PM 
except for a Stop'n'Rob and Dunkin Donuts. There was also a switch yard in 
the middle of town and one of the tracks was next to Dunkin's. It wasn't 
uncommon to find a train parked in the crossing at 3AM while the crew had 
their coffee and donuts.
