Yep, we have tracks that run right through our town. Our house is about 1/8 mile from them. There is a crossing to the south of us so the engineer has to sound the horn which can be very loud at times, depending on the wind direction.

You get used to the rumbling although there are houses right next to the tracks and I don't know how those folks could stand it.

The city installed crossing gates last summer which has helped with drivers going around. In my years of driving I have never went around gates. I have crossed tracks with flashing lights after seeing that the train was not even close. Wrong I know but there it is.
