We are off Rainey Trail, maybe a mile east of the tracks. Been here for just over 6 years, and while we’ve always heard the train, it seems to be much more frequent these past months. It has never really bothered us, but at this time of year when doors and windows are open, it’s much more noticeable, especially if one is not fully asleep during the night runs.

I never thought too much about it until the derailment and toxic spill in Ohio last year. We have no idea what’s zipping by in those tankers.

There is a new subdivision being built right up against those tracks. Those folks better hope that the builder puts in some good soundproofing!
