Now that the weather is warming - I wonder how long it will be that in addition to the sounds of trains, the perfume of livestock in the rural area of Rootstown will become a problem?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Hmm sensed a little sarcasm there perhaps? I don't think I have that to worry about in my area, although I'm sure in most areas that's an issue. My issue is the train noise pollution....period. 

Not trying to stir the pot here, I was just looking for help or to find any others that live in my area and have the same concerns I do.

BaltACD - the OP has a genuine problem, which she would like to discuss here. No need to be sarcastic or abusive.

A train buff forum may not be the right place for this discussion, but as long as it stays civil and helpful, I´ll let go and won´t lock this thread.

I have personally spent time in Rootstown and most of NE Ohio.  Get used to the area or move!  City types that come to the country had best accept the country for what it is - because it is what it is.

I write up too many train vs. vehicle collisions to have any sympathy.  Fortunately, I am no longer a line of road field official and don't have to investigate these incidents any longer.

What makes you think I'm "city type"? I come from a rural area in Michigan...so I'm used to trains, the smell of animal poop in fields, loud neighbors an their cara, barking dogs, and a small town. NONE of which are an issue with me. Again, it is the mere noise pollution at night, bu the trains, in my area. Period. Unless you have lived on my street, tried to sleep, tried to get your kids to stay asleep with this train noise, I should not have to take a brow beating on here or my concerns! I came here for help. There is no need for you to respond since you clearly have an issue.

This thread is now where I don´t want it to be. It is not any longer helpful, nor informative. Christie, I hope you have received some info which can be of use to you to get your issue solved.

This thread will now be locked.
