What is going on?? The people who live even closer to those tracks must be going nuts over this.
Chime in if you heard that too.....
My home in the village of Belvedere is 0.4 miles from the tracks. Between the tracks and my home, there is only a nature preserve and open farmland. By law, the train horn is blown before every railroad crossing. The sound is worse in the winter when most of the trees in a tree line do not have leaves. Most of the time, the horns are not a problem.
