How far are you from the nearest tracks

[jwb]

    I live a couple of miles from the Metrolink former SP line through Glendale, which has gradually become mostly passenger, with Metrolink commuter trains, Amtrak Surfliners, and the Amtrak Coast Starlight. Most freight now goes through the San Joaquin Valley via West Colton, the exceptions being a pig train from Portland, OR to LA, an oil tank train several times a week from up the coast, some empty auto racks, and some local freights and haulers.
