Cool. I can hear locomotive engines at times, if conditions are right. About 7 miles. I can certainly hear the horns.

The sound of a train can be very soothing.

Yup. The oil carrier train will stop outside of town. That's only another two blocks. When it starts up and moves you can hear every car clank as it pulls tension.
