People didn’t just take a 250 mile trip. Most people never made it 50 miles from where they were born.
If you had family in Walton and your son visited, probably with his mother, the train exchanges could have been overcome with a cousin/uncle picking them up at a nearby station on the last stop.

That said, good luck to Fido, egri.
