We have a lot of rail in the Detroit area, and it doesn't bother me one bit. I find the sound of the train horns at night really relaxing.

I used to live across the street from the railroad tracks when I went to U of M, I loved the big freight trains that came by late at night, brakes screeching. Also train horns in the distance, a fond memory of childhood.

I believe Reagan and Bush were the last ones to use trains for anything significant while
in office, which is part of why the train is a thing in the first place.

Clinton did a rail tour as part of the reelection campaign. I know because we walked from our gradeschool to the nearby stop to hear a meaningless stump speech.

Edit: or maybe it was for the Gore campaign, but it was definitely Bill who did the talking

Pretty sure they'll just take the body off the scaffolding and drop it strait into the pit.

Still happens in Fort Collins, too.
