The closest to the tracks I've worked was when I worked for an architect with offices in the old Lehigh & Hudson Railroad office building in Warwick, NY. It was about the time the NYS&W started running on the line, & I never tired of watching trains roll by. The brick and concrete bulding was built as if to withstand a nuclear blast and you barely feel a vibration when a train rolled by not 30 feet away. <br /> <br />The closest I've lived to tracks was about a block away, in Haverstraw, NY. Freight trains ran fairly often & I got used to it quickly. In 1973 (?) a train derailed and caught fire in the mile-long tunnel and shut down rail traffic for about a week. I would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night when something in the brain screamed "TOO QUIET!!!!" <br /> <br />Wayne
