Questions about the trains that run past this area:

What does all that development mean for the rail traffic? Will it be re-routed?

I have to say, I work in the vicinity, and the noise level at that bend in the tracks in completely unbearable. Walking form my building to my car is excruciating—some days I can't do it without sticking my fingers in my ears. This is no exaggeration either. A co-worker measured the noise that one particular train made at 107 decibels.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in proximity to that racket.
