How close is your home to the nearest tracks?

[BATMAN]

 About 5 Kilometres  from the BNSF line where it crosses the border at Peace Arch, and 6 Kilometres from the BCR line that goes to the Roberts Bank Superport. But at night it sometimes sounds like they are blowin just across the field. It's a nice sound to fall asleep to.

 Right now I'm living both the closest ever that I have to railroad track (~500 feet), and the furthest I have from ACTIVE railroad track (about 2 miles to the light rail, about 5 miles to the nearest freight)

Half mile from the Ex-IC now CN, about 2 miles from the IC&E and 3 miles from the BNSF mainline.  I rarely get a chance to catch a train in day light hours though with my work schedule.  Sometimes I catch them during the day in the work truck but rarely ever a chance to get a good picture.

I live a half mile from a retired sante fe line that was active in the mid 1900s . You can still see the raised line in some parts of town.

Unfortunatly I am about 6 miles from the nearest rail line. It's a commutor line (metro North) in Peeskill. CSX and CN only run freights there at night. I can hear their horns when they have to blow for a crossing and can hear the locos late at night when it is very quiet outside. I do get to watch trains by crossing over the hudson river to the westshore line of CSX and can sometimes see 4 or 5 trains in an hour.

Well depends..To the CF&E about a block.To the NS about 1 mile.

I live in a neighbourhood approximately 200 yards from  CN and CP tracks---I don't seem to have much luck with my schedule and train schedules----now, if I'm at friend's studio near Beachville his driveway crosses the CN main----

It's about a seven minute walk to the nearest train station from my place, then it curves away to the north.  Of course, this is Queensland Rail I'm talking about.

I live a half a block from a short line.  It used to be the Santa Fe.  I get to see trains about daily from my front porch.  The problem is that it is mostly late at night.

What about you all?
