Nothing wrong with trains. Trains are cool. Railroads however...

  The noise pollution that comes with trains is pretty ghastly too. Living next to a train track is just complete hell if you want to ever leave your windows open, cause every 30 minutes you won't be able to hear yourself think for about a minute. Road traffic is at least constant so you can sort of filter it out. Subways and trams are get a pass though.

    True, and the way it reverberates from surrounding buildings is so much worse than road noise. Source: live next to a 5 lane railway, plus bullet train, plus monorail).

    I was actually referring to the complexity of building a new railroad (even single tracked on top of existing pathway) in the US. That said, can't say anything bad about LRT.
