Municipalities receive complaints from the public all day long; anything from their garbage not getting picked up, to burnt out streetlights, to the noise that trains make in the rail yard.  The first question most would ask is “Did you not see the rail yard when you were considering buying the house?"  It MIGHT be a tad disruptive for the residents of Usher Street when an SD40-2 idles outside their bedroom windows for half the night, so I SOMEWHAT sympathise for them.  Somewhat.  RLHH 3403 was set off by 597 in the night, and would be taken down to Hamilton by 596 after they switched Ingenia.

  1. Very little sympathy outa me. Some of these yardbirds haven’t a clue; they are so hell bent on getting a house that they forget there is a neighbourhood as well. In my neighbourhood a lot of people used to complain about the trains, but now there hardly are any (CN), so now they complain about the trucks on the QEW. Well, they might as well stifle themselves, nobodys moving the highway…….

  2. Guess where they parked 2081 this afternoon when they ran out of hours and got blocked in by 435??? That’s right, alongside 3403 hahaha

  3. And people move near Pearson and complain about the planes. There’s plenty of signs warning around about the noise. Bellyaching NIMBY types. But i’m sure they don’t mind hopping on a plane to sunny destinations. Now back to trains… Zero Blessure. ;)
