I must encourage you ask your realtor if the freight train can be heard from where you will be living. We were not told that the train passes 15 times a day within 300 yards behind our house. They sound the horn constantly as they pass. In fact, it is passing right now, as I write these words. If we had known about it, we would have built elsewhere.

In addition, freight traffic will be increasing by 33% over the next 10 years. Please, ask your realton and make him or her sign a statement saying that it will not affect the resale value of your home. It is a real issue with the people who were not told about this extreme annoyance.
