I live within a mile of the D-Troit to Chicago Amtrak train route. Day and night I hear them singing their song.
I was laying in bed one night and got to thinking that any where I've ever lived or stayed I could hear the occasional train in the middle of the night. Is anyone here so isolated they aren't bothered with that plaintive horn? ![]() |

Where I grew up, if the wind was right you might hear it out in the way far out distance.
Where I'm living now, it's just a single track within ear shot to a couple local factories and maybe once a week I'll hear the train. |

Constant background noise eventually you don't notice. Many times I think, "is my grandfather clock chiming? I don't remember hearing it chime." Then I listen, and sure enough, yes, it's chiming, I just don't notice it.
I do recall living maybe a mile or so from some tracks, and in the middle of the night you could hear train horns if you were awake. |

Closest train track is about eight miles from my house. Don't hear a thing from them.
On the other hand, the airplanes fly within a quarter mile of us. They are low and slow getting ready to line up with the ILS for a straight in landing. ![]() |

Joe's Dementia could hear the horn of that imaginary train he used to ride across the Scott Bridge. In fact, he still hears it on occasion

Only between the years 1974 to 1989. We were surrounded by golf courses and dairy farms then, since I moved to GA to follow my soon to be wife trains are a several time daily event. At least now we don't live 1/2 mile from a switching yard anymore.

We did, but after a few months, it didn't exist. I think it's like living below an airport landing path. People tell me they sleep through like nothing happened.
