That segment, as it happens, also included interviews with a few nearby farmers and land owners whose properties and businesses were negatively affected by said railway and upgrades, their concernes seemed largely to be swept under the rug.

But the revamping they did in that area was nothing short of immense.

Ah yes, that does make sense. Still.. the amount of money seemed out of line with what is usually spent on Olympic-induced upgrades of that nature.
