My grandma lives near Florida East Coast Railway. Long freight trains cause the house to vibrate at 3am.

I hope our villa isn't near those trains. Is there a map?

so my advise to all smokers is: go over to snus instead. you can order it from Northerner. Buy Swedish Snus & American Snuff Online. The #1 Smokeless Tobacco Store on Internet !. and yes - i'm a snuser since 10 year back.
Or how about don't start something and make yourself addicted to it for the sake of it.. Its a bit stupid

I live 2km from a train line and when a freight train blows its horn in the dead of the night it pretty much sounds like it's right next to you. Even inside the house with all the windows closed I can still hear it.

Don't know how those people who's back fence is literally right up against the track live. Surely every time a train passes it's like a mini earthquake and how would they get any sleep?

NS 5315 is one of the freights which regularly travels this route.

The Herzog freight train is another, and P & W uses the NEC in new england.

P & W along the New Haven line, somewhere near where Cambium lives:
