I remember saying to my wife that when we sat outside we would be continually irritated by the noise. We now live in a house where we hear the train in the distance. Not enough to be troublesome, but my wife insists the agent should have told us. Unless we had visited at odd times, we wouldn't, and didn't notice it. I guess we should have talked to more neighbors. Bottom line, do your research and live with your decisions.

Isn't that what Google Maps is for? We would not consider even looking at a home unless we looked at the site on Google Maps. No surprises that way.
