I was contacted this morning by the Rail and Reason blog — they appear to be linking to other blogs that are having similiar issues with noisy train in their communities. Go check them out… they have some interesting links into noise and health issues as well as loads of information on acceptable noise and …
Tamarack Train Update
Haven’t posted in a while. The trains have not been insufferable lately. There was one last night about 11pm and then I went and slept in basement, so don’t know how busy the night was. There have been a couple this morning, one just now a bit of a noisy shaker but being midday, not …
