Train Whistles

When I first moved out here, living close enough to the train tracks that I heard the whistles a million time a day drove me crazy. I hated how loud the train was and how often it came. I've come to love those train whistles, though. I find the period bursts of noise quite soothing. It reminds me of Polar Express and White Christmas, and makes me remember how much I've always wanted to travel somewhere by train. For some reason hearing the whistles (more like horns..but whatever) makes me feel like the world is calm. Maybe I'll need to live close to a train forever.
