They do it regardless of whether or not it has a crossing. I used to live right next to a proper crossing and they still blared their horn. While it wasn’t fun, it was easy to tune it out after a month or so.
Growing up next to a set of tracks, I purposely go out if my way to find places to live near them. I find it very comforting. The fact that places like that tend to be cheaper is just a bonus.
Yeah I love hearing the train go by at night. At my mom’s current place it’s like 30 feet from the tracks which was a little much but where I lived in high school it was perfect
Federal Railroad Administration rules on this are rather excessive in my opinion. To see how these safety rules can backfire look no further than Caltrain’s morning rush hour. These are brand-new, quiet and smooth electric trains but because of the rules the bells and whistles are so loud it sounds like some sort of 5-alarm emergency! But no, that’s just a normal morning. My heart goes out to any easily overstimulated people near railroad crossings.

Where i currently am, it’s just down the road. Nice to watch from the front porch while having my morning coffee.
could be the autism but I never got used to it living next to one for years
Same, the autism can’t let it go
I need to be at least a quarter mile away, preferably a whole mile.

There’s a station a few minute walk from my house. Horn or not they’re still audible.
