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.....

This happens whenever the trains go through. They are required to do it. Interesting that you’ve never heard it, but the wind and atmospheric conditions have to be right for you to hear it two miles away. Do you want the train whistle to stop blowing? Would you also like drivers to turn off their car headlights because the lights hurt your eyes? There’s a song called “Where Do We Go from Here” by The Band that asks “How do you get to sleep when the whistle don’t blow?” I don’t often hear the whistle in the night, but I love it.
