Pill bugs are crustaceans. I think they even belong to the same branch 
as shrimp (malacostraca? something like that). I seem to recall there 
are a fair number of fossil crustaceans that resemble pill bugs.

I have some old railroad timetables from the 1940s and 1950s. One of our 
radio stations is in a town in NH with a beautiful brick former Boston 
and Maine depot. In 1948, I could have caught a train at Boston's North 
Station, changed trains in Concord, NH, and got off within a block of 
the radio station... except that the radio station wasn't there in 1948. 
The track leading to that station is gone; like many New England 
railroad lines it was abandoned after most of the regions factories and 
mills shut down. Parts of it are now a bike trail, and two covered 
bridges still stand that used to carry trains across the river.

There is an Amtrak train that stops about ten miles from there, but
it goes to NYC not Boston, and it isn't running at the moment due
to Covid.

One of our employees has a 7.5-inch guage railroad on his land, and uses 
it to move dirt, gravel, and building materials around. He's building 
himself a new house.
