I don't know about you but, We just bought a nice 2 acre ranch in the country & my best neighbor is the WSOR railroad in my back yard about 250' from the house , Which is a good distance away . Well anyway I was used to a fairly quiet neighborhood , But Oh..... at aprox. 4:30 am on our first night here I thought all "HELL" was breaking loose, I was asleep but almost went through the vaulted ceiling when I woke up to 5 SD-40 & GP38 units screaming by they must have been close to "notch 8", You talk about a wakeup call. I thought I was awake then, But noooo not quite , Then as they went by that ol horn went off for the crossing down the road . Don't need any coffee today I said to my wife. & If that isn't a good definition for a loud diesel, I don't know what is. I gave it a 7 on the rictor scale......meaning my heart.........I gave them a 10. "WHEW " PS. "I still love my neighbor"
