As the crow flies, I'm only about a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile from a rail line that Go Trains (Toronto area commuter trains) and the occasional CNR freight use. You can view this line but you have to scramble down a steep hill into part of the Don Valley and then walk along a very eroded trail! I've done it a couple times with my sons but it's not too easy, takes time & you can get muddy!
Further to the south, we're about 1.5 or so from the Lake Shore Line which is used by Go, VIA and CNR freights. However, if you drive for 15 minutes or so to the southeast, you arrive at a really nice pedestrian bridge (also next to a park & playground) where you can get a great view of this line.
I'm currently on holiday in Winchester, England visiting my wife's family. We're also near a pedestrian train bridge where I often take my sons & nephews to. It's probably only about 1.5 miles away but we usually walk there, which takes about 30 minutes.
