She's got a pretty good feeling Curtis would agree with Nate's assessment of trains and she hesitates before continuing, but only for a moment. Explaining to Nate about the train isn't giving away any sort of personal information Curtis has trusted her with.

She frowns a little and says, "It wasn't a good place to live. I know he was tryin' to change things."
