How bad is train noise along 78, Murphy, Sachse, Wylie (living in, place)

[wordstringer]

I posted yesterdy about Provence at Firewheel and now realize there are lots of communities that are just as close to 78/railroad.

Can anyone share feedback on frequency of trains, noise level, etc.?

Appreciate hearing whatever you wish to share about living in the area.

Thanks in advance!

I live in Murphy and you can hear the train on cool, quiet nights but unless you live right by the tracks it isn't an issue.

Murphy has implemented quiet zones in the last few years so they are NOT blowing their horns all the way thru town like they used to. AFAIK Wylie isn't anywhere near getting quiet zones in place.

Thanks a bunch! That's good to know. One resident we stopped to chat with told us trains pass PAF three or four times a day.

Does that sound about right?
