I live in Patchogue N.Y. with my wife and two children, I am  retired out of the fire service after 27 years

we have the Lirr Montauk branch run right behind our house, I am not much on passenger trains but the trains they call freight here the longest i have seen is 14 cars long.  We are hoping to move out west in a few years back to where my wife comes from which is about 40 miles outside of Chicago, knowing that if you like freight trains that is some hell of a place to be
