When I lived in England a train would run through our town every night and I felt like climbing aboard it and having a grand adventure but like every night I just fell asleep and dreamed about the adventure I would have

In northern Idaho I hear train whistles on a line that my great grandfather helped build. My grandmother told me stories about visiting the area circa 1910.

there are tracks near me, but I don't hear the whistle much anymore. When I was a kid, I used to imagine jumping on one of the cars, like they did in the early days. I want to rake the train through Canada sometime. or across the USA,

My house is close enough to train tracks that my entire house shakes. Not lonesome, not adventurous, just annoying.

Annoyed. I get such little sleep as it is, to be woken up during that time is brutal. If I think deeper, I remember the train ride from my home to Canada. Stops every 15 mins and the train jerking back and forth. It wasn't enjoyable.

Usually, I just wait & listen to see whether the whistle woke up my little boys. We're pretty close to tracks here & there are a couple trains that come through around 2-2:30am. Until very recently, it would consistently wake one or both of them.

Neither... Kinda annoyed they are blasting. I understand they have to when they cross intersections. I used to live a few blocks from The tracks... Cheap housing usually means less sleep! Lol

When I was a teenager, we lived a block away from the train tracks. After we moved, I had a hard time sleeping because I missed the train whistles.

Comforted. We have always lived near tracks, the furthest away was 3-4 miles probably. Since I was 8, though we were still within 10 before that. I love hearing them!

It makes me feel like I wish we lived farther from the train tracks. We don't ever hear them here, but at my parents' place there is a train crossing within sight of their house and less than 1/4 mile away. It seems deafening to me.

It reminds me of the song Folsom Prison Blues. Incredible but it became an evergreen even though it tries to make you sympathize with someone who murdered with no real motive.
