    I’m talking near two of the top ten industrial facilities in the United States

    Sure, I already pointed out how you started out making a broad, sweeping generalization (‘trains bad because noisy, in general’), then shifted the goalposts narrowing it to just train horns at level grade crossings, then just to level grade crossings in a flood zone. The fact that you continued to retreat to talking about next to a city park (in another branch of the discussion responding to somebody else), and now finally to talking about some particular singular site in your response to me, is utterly unsurprising.

    Thank you for demonstrating my point about how you’re arguing in bad faith.

      No, trains can be good, but they shouldn’t share the same rails between freights and passengers.

      I can guarantee you they will not stop running freight on our rails, and I already know they’re planning to share those same rails for passenger trains.

      Now, how many train cars derailed over the past few years? While they wanna dual-purpose freight and passenger trains on our same worn out rails, where every couple weeks a broke down train has to literally park on the tracks, blocking all traffic?
