Working rail roads and their tracks.

Those homes would have a greatly reduced real estate value with that kind of noise.
Street parked vehicles get a nice dusting, too.

$25K-35K except for this one at $130ish K. Must have hardwood floors.

More importantly, though, is that Elwood, IN is the home of Red Gold Foods. Just 2 blocks from those houses.

Fall harvest is winding down, but for the last couple months we've been seeing the tomato trucks all over northern Indiana loaded up and heading to Elwood. Supplying them is a large business in Indiana.

Pretty much every south-bound on-ramp has a few dozen tomatoes laying in the side of the road.

Same around here except it's sweet corn. Too bad no tomatoes, add some beans and might have a chance at succotash.

Saw that video a while back, very interesting how they did it.

Man is that cheap! Might be worth the train noise

That was an incredible watch. I was thinking of my grandfather who worked at Baldwin Locomotive in Philadelphia while watching.

Surprisingly, you'd get used to it.

When I was a kid, we lived right next to the main flightpath of the airport. And today not much further. We just don't notice it anymore. When our cousins would visit from Cincinnati, they'd complain about the noise. Then we'd visit them, and they lived across the street from a major B&O railroad line on the north side of town. We'd complain about the noise.

As for some young people starting out, I'd say those homes aren't in bad shape, and are cheaper than a car. You're at work all day. The trains would lull you to sleep.... until they blew the horn! But you'd get used to it.

Yeah, it was pretty interesting that they'd set up the entire thing, make it all fit perfect, then tear it apart for shipping and installation.

Also, did you notice the child labor in the casting area?
And all the men wore jackets. My grandfather and our old neighbor always wore jackets when doing yard work.
