RAILROAD PATH BRINGS DECLINE. TUMBLEWEED RESIDENTS FRET AT FUTURE. The once-bustling town of Tumbleweed in Gaptooth Ridge, New Austin, is growing quiet. The shops sit mostly empty. The blacksmith is idle. The population is dwindling as wagon after wagon of families leave. Since the railroad bypassed Tumbleweed in favor of Armadillo, trade and commerce has moved way. The last holdouts fear that there exists not much future for their dear town of Tumbleweed and it will become another casualty of the technological advances that have blighted so much of our westward expansion, with controversial Sheriff Samuel Freeman presiding over a dusty, soon to be forgotten, relic in the desert.
