      I live two blocks from a set of active train tracks, the irritating bit isn’t the train itself, it’s the horn. As they pass through downtown and pass the multiple level crossings, they just blare the damn thing.

          Strange. Trains don’t even have horns in my country as far as I know. At least I have literally never heard one, and I take the train quite often.

        So the problem isn’t trains near houses, it’s train crossings near houses where horns are required. Fix the crossings to not require horns and you’re golden.

        We have a commuter rail that used to sound its horns all the time, so they fixed the interactions and most if not all intersections no longer require horns.
