Definition of "far-sighted"

Gavin Johns, chairman of the Swanage Railway Trust, said: "I would like to thank our stakeholders for their far-sighted investment of £5.5 million to re-connect Swanage and Corfe Castle with the main line, which included £1.8m from the Government's coastal communities fund, so we could restore our 1950s heritage diesel trains for running on the main line."
