I should add, my thinking at the time was along the lines of, "A train is very loud... I'll hear it coming miles away". Wrong!!! They can be dead silent. Another time (after the incident above), I was standing near (mind you, never very close to - never again, ever) the train tracks. An Amtrack train suddenly wizzed right in front of me. I actually heard a vibration in the tracks before I even heard the train. Freaked me out. I was in no danger here, but it was still freaky how easily the train could sneak up on someone.
