Posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Feb 25 08:45:26 2025, in response to NYC Apartment that’s Just Feet from Subway Platform Rents for $4-a-Month, posted by heypaul on Mon Feb 24 22:28:57 2025. The closest to that I've experienced is a few nights in a hotel room with the bed probably within 15-20 feet of two SBB (Swiss railway) tracks (one per direction) with about 3 or 4 trains per direction going by day and night, but the nearest station was about half a mile away and I never noticed acceleration/deceleration. I think the presence of the station is a major factor. It's one thing to just hear trains rumble by - that's usually not that annoying, even for non-railfans, but it's another to hear every train's brakes as it comes to a stop, and then its propulsion as it starts up again, every single time. |
