This is way off base in my experience. I live near several freight lines and cross the tracks often. The only negative is having to wait at a crossing every once in a while, but that's a very minor problem. I've literally never heard anyone bash trains in general and want them removed. In fact, it's more the opposite. There is a niche of serious train enthusiasts that get really excited about trains of various types.
