All Topics / Help Needed! / How close is too close to train tracks / station (map)
Could someone have a look at the map and tell me what they think. Short walking distance to train station but you have site of the train tracks across a park.
From the map it seems that there are no cross roads but bridges so you are not going to have the train horn blasts or boom gates ringing.
.
You need to probably be at the address when a train goes past to get an idea of the noise
as it might carry across the park as there looks like there are no barriers for the sound waves. However the terrain is not known.
Is there a hill between the house and train line which might stop the sound waves travelling. Like the soccer field might be higher than the train line and the house. Its hard to tell from the map. You might get an idea from Google Earth on the heights of the ground.Probably another thing is how often do trains run on these four tracks ?
It is close to the train station which may be a plus.
Thanks Duck. Much appreciated.
