Its kinda hard not to hear the trains at my local railfanning spot, its a old trestle in a area where sound echoes, the super-loud-hear-from-a-mile-away Long Island RR passenger trains come barreling across a grade crossing then swinging a curve before coming into view. If you dont hear it by then the engineer will lay on the horn. Theres a walkway on the bridge so getting off to the side (Kills your ear drums, its happened to me twice, seeing those double deckers a foot away from your face is scary) is easy. The biggest risk you have is falling into some pricker bushes off to the side of the roadbed. <br /> <br /> <br />Now the old GP-38-2's they use for the frieghts? those you hear a town away, breaks squealing, cars rattleing and clicky-clacking at 50 miles an hour. I dont really take pictures there anymore, I have a few nice sunset shots of a frieght and about a dozen passenger train pictures from there. Im not sure about other locations on the island, but on that bridge you wont have any trains popping up in your face.
