Location location location. Isn’t that the rule of real estate? It’s EVERYTHING!
Maura took this photo of a brand new development, built along the active railroad tracks. She says I could sit on the porch and knit and watch the freight trains go by. Heaven forbid if there’s a derailment! What were they thinking with this plan? No occupancy yet but I can’t imagine anyone rushing to buy one of these units.
Granddaughter Maura’s lacrosse game was late afternoon. A freight train, actually two, barreled by.
This is the East Liberty USPS parking lot.
I was returning to my car after mailing a few packages and I heard the sound of this train.
It was close.
A partial panorama of Pittsburgh from West Carson-
the Allegheny River (L) meets the Monongahela (R) to form the Ohio River. 
Gates down, red lights flash, bells clang- the freight train rolls by. Count the cars, kids! Long trains in Ohio. Lots of cars. Sit and wait.
