one is a spur, one is a double main line

The mainline scares the heck out of me.    So many wrecks.

One train will go by and the gate doesn't go up, so some jerk in a hurry will go around the gate then get smacked by the train on the other track going the other direction.

At least once a month, someone gets killed by a train in my town.   There's no excuse for it.

The last train left Phoenix in 1996

We are near a railroad. Not too far away is the airport. We can see them just after wheels up from the airport and some as they line up to come in for a landing.

Just one.  I can hear it from the house at times.  It's in the bottom land, below the bottom land we live on.  The same route runs behind the property where I work (I work outside, so I hear it).

I love the sound of the train, and yes, when I am stopped, looking the graffiti is way interesting, and wondering what is in the box cars is intriguing.  I sometimes picture a hobo with a knapsack on a stick hitching a ride.  Freedom, with no clear direction except the way the rail goes.

I live in suburban NYC, Metro North had has lines up here, the New Haven and Harlem lines are both elevated while the Hudson line has crossings. There was a very tragic accident on the Hudson line a little over two years ago.
