was two blocks from some railroad tracks. About four freight trains a day used those tracks, and their passing was quite loud. I was even able to identify the different locomotives that pulled those trains by their individual sounds. We weren't informed of that when we bought the house. We got used to the trains very quickly, and they became just another part of our local environment.
