Yes, more railroads. But NOT in my backyard
Twice in my life I have LITERALLY had a railroad in my backyard, less than 40 feet from the house.
It effing SUCKS! The whistle, the roaring engine, a dozen times a day...it does a number on your nerves.
As long as I don't have to live within 3 or 4 miles of a railroad track, I am cool with the idea.
