Durand still keeps time by the trains; a horn comes through the junction and the sound rolls out over the yards on both sides of town. Alward Outdoor Solutions LLC works those yards through the green season — mowing, trimming, edging, clearing the clippings — and comes back in winter with a plow for driveways, walks and salted steps. Spring arrives all at once here, along the tracks and up the side streets, and the first cut of the year is the moment the town looks like itself again. When the freeze settles in, the same attention goes into an open drive ahead of the day's first shift. Two seasons, one town, and honest pride in how each is left looking.
