How far are you from the nearest tracks

[Steamtrains]

About 3 miles away. Used to be you could hear a few trains a day servicing the line that ran from the Port of Brownsville to a small UP yard just this side of the border. There were a few clients along this line, principally (I think..) a Home Depot store and a few smaller customers. That yard has been ripped out, as well as the line leading out of B'ville to the north. The only link to the Big World is a line running from the Port to the UP line that heads out of town.

Surprisingly enough, I did see a train heading south on this line a few days back. First in many months...
