It looks like it.
There are many places that have houses right next to the tracks. The land is cheap and since most people don't want to live there the houses are cheap as well.
When I was an infant my parents lived in a house that was right next to the tracks in Louisiana. My dad said the house would actually shake. He said a glass of water would get major ripples from the motion. He said after a few months everyone learned to sleep right through the noise. They were happy to move however.
