After some cursory research, it seems like the company that built the track was super cheap and bought a very narrow right of way and people just built up around the tracks.

It's being reported that the driver's brakes caught fire and he was trying to put them out when it exploded.

Wouldn't the trains going by cause the foundations of those nearby houses to weaken after a couple years? The vibrations.

Perhaps, but it looks like a spur line where trains only move at crawl. That, and the pic is probably at least 30-40 years old, and trains weren't really pulling the fuckass long loads that they do these days.

I saw in person what was left of the Murrah building before they demolished it. Ammonium nitrate can make a real big boom. At least that poor driver probably didn't feel a thing. Be finding bits of him in the next county over.

I used to live right next to a railroad crossing. You remember in The Blues Brothers when Elwood takes Jake back to his room and Jake asks how often the trains go by? "So often you won't even notice it."

After about a week you sleep right through it.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




I've got trains shunting across the street. My bedroom is at the back of the house so what I hear is like the sound of distant thunder, which I have convinced myself is nice.

This. The town I grew up in had a house with exactly the same situation. It was a siding off the main Penn Central line that led back to a lumberyard, and a coal yard, and the trains were basically crawling when the either backed in, or came out. The siding cut across several streets, and none of them had any kind of a warning of the fact that there was a crossing. Usually a brakeman would get off the train and stop traffic as the train crossed.



It paralleled the distant cross street, and curled right through the house's right hand side yard, crossed the foreground street, and connected to the mainline. The tracks were removed decades ago, and the main Penn Central line is now a bike path.
