How far are you from the nearest tracks

[ezdays]

We live around 2.5 miles from the main BNSF line running between California and into Phoenix. We used to hear the train whistle almost every night until the people living next to the tracks complained enough for them to make it a "no signal" zone. Oh yeah, the line has been in the same place for at least 80 years, the housing development, only around 10 years. It's typical of things like this, move in next to an existing railroad track, an airport or major highway and then complain about the noise afterwards.

We are also a few miles away from a large automobile storage facility where there is usually a good 50 or more car carriers unloading cars and trucks.
