Watching that Ohio vid. reminds me of here in OP, there is a north/south route following the St. Johns river, through middle of town, and there are houses backed up right to the tracks, I was doing a job in one when a train went through, a slo freight....that house rumbled like a major combat was happening next door, Rock and ROLL!!!!

I"d just imagine when one of the much faster passenger trains goes by.....

I live about 2.5 miles from the track, and hear the trains all the time, at all 3 major crossroads......they have rebuilt all 3 of them about 4X each since I been here....TWO 3 lane roads, each side, and one just a single lane each side...in the middle....
AND too boot, the local billionaires keep their own private rail coaches on a siding here in OP.....stepson in the HVAC trade gets to work on the gear in the coaches when prepping for use.....which has been declining in recent years....many of the mansions have been sold off and vacated to other use with time passing on.....
