I lived across from a train crossing/switch yard and after a couple of months, you miss the trains if you don't hear them in the background. After Gustav, it was Erie quiet because our normal traffic of three or four trips a day was routed to the north. If the trains run, the world is ok. They are comforting. Dont let trains scare you. This house is perfect for tiny living!!
We're you a car salesmen in a previous career? Your spinning of the "charm" of living next to the train tracks and its blowing the horn as they go by, if not plausible, was rather masterful. Don't forget to tell them how their house will vibrate as the train goes by, charming indeed, lol! The house itself is cute though.
I use to work for the phone company. I would go to do a repair at a house that was next to the RR tracks and I would ask the owners if the train bothered them. I had many tell me that they liked the sound of the horn and the cars going by.
@@LessStormRiskFloridaHomes Wow, that's surprising to me. When I was much younger, I also lived in a poorer area that was a fairly short distance from the tracks, and I found it miserable. In fact, so many homeowners thought it was such a detriment to their quality of life and of course negatively impacted their home values and ability to sell, that the city stopped allowing the trains to blow their horns when going thru crossings. Now, they are only allowed to use when there is something actually on the track. They still have the vibration as the trains come thru, but no horns generally. I guess it's good that the people you met were able to come to terms with it.
Questions: The house on the left, do the stairs exceed their property line? Two houses down on the right, are they running a flea market or are they hoarders?
I would guess hoarder by the looks of things, but who knows. That whole street looks quite depressed, with only a few exceptions. It would stink to keep your property up and then have to live among all those that don't.

Thanks for sharing your story.
After a few months in that house you wouldn’t notice the trains. The shower looks safer for an older person than a tub.

I could see a snowbird buying a place like this for winter living. And if you’re really old you may be deaf and not even hear the train.
