red house by the tracks

Upstate, New York

I'm a train nut, but this is too close to the mainline for me.
Imagine the noise back in the days of steam!
This is the CSX mainline, formerly the New York Central's four track NY to Chicago.

Nice shot, and an interesting angle

a house really? hope they don't get too many trains at night!
Guest 09-Feb-2009 15:42
Nice find... I wonder if they sleep with ear plugs!

The location isn't right but it really looks like a lovely little cottage.

Imagine the dirt too!
Good find.

Love the house, but you are right too close to the track! ...

Nice find...hope it doesn't go by often..
Russ Rose09-Feb-2009 04:38
super find. I would not want to live there when a long freight train rumbles through the night.

Maybe the homeowner thinks of it as having the world's largest model railroad? :-)

I've heard that towns near the tracks get used to the sound. Noise pollution today is high!

Look a little bit like the situation in Norfolk, NY, very good catch.
Barbara Heide09-Feb-2009 02:05
great find...

I love upstate NY. My wife is from Cooperstown.

My kind of place, we almost had a piece of property at the west yard switch
at Lafayette.
Yvonne09-Feb-2009 01:26
Would be far too noisy for me too!
Linda Willets09-Feb-2009 01:22
red building.. red on pole.. a double catch

My office is about 4 times that far off and I still can imagine. I feel it and hear it these days!
Walter Otto Koenig09-Feb-2009 00:03
Cool find. That is a bit close to the tracks.
Guest 09-Feb-2009 00:01
Probably less than with the noise of huge diesel truck air braking all the time. We lived a few years near a rr track, it never bothered me.

A double-glazing salesman's dream :-)

Very well spotted and captured.
