Week 28: The Giant Kansas Snow Ball

In Kansas, if two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed. I would like to know how exactly any train gets anywhere because if they have to wait for the other one to move then eventually there would be a giant train pileup and all the passengers would be very upset. Then the upset passengers would contact the train agencies and then the bosses would want to know what's going on and then there would be even more traffic when they arrive and then no one would get anywhere and any agricultural goods on the trains would be stuck there and then people would start starving. Pretty much it would just cause a giant snowball effect and nothing would ever get done.
