For days, a train has been driving a South Portland woman up the wall.
She’s lived by the tracks for decades, but that’s not the problem.
Her issue has been a train sitting there idling, she says, for more than 48 hours.

I'm from maine and never heard of this
Lmaooo she needs to stop being a damn crybaby. UUUU THE TRAINS ARE STOPPED UUUU like what the hell.
Goofy ass
This is a common practice.
So they have to park exactly in that spot and why. Why do they use this area for charging. I think the engines are running to charge the batteries. Diesel electric engines.
😂🤦
Get ahold of the fbi
Put ear plugs in .probably solved
You live next to the tracks ..
Complaint department is in the toilet. Go speak firectly into the 🌀
Buy a house next to the train tracks, complain about the train on the train tracks?
They are trying to force neighbors out. This is a tactic
Then, move and find a new home 🏡
You people!
One thing I know about the railroad is that they answer to no one
Waste of fuel at the very least
I’d have just shut it down
She wants attention. You guys should pay for her train conducting classes and have her get in there and move it
Im willing to bet them tracks were there when they moved in 🤦♂️
I’m the engineer of this train. I knew I forgot to do something before I left for vacation.
Bet money those train tracks were there before those townhomes 🤡
Everybody knows not to buy cheap land by the tracks unless you're an investor knowing about it getting developed for a distribution center.
Call your worthless Congressman.
Railroads companies do what they want. Where I live. They will block intersections longer than law allows. Disregard complaints as no one in the government does anything about it.
You moved into a house that's 50 feet from the train tracks. What did you think happened on train tracks?
I would have got in the train and shut it down myself
"Always on your side"…not today lady.
OMG… the toxic fumes!!!
Funny how locomotives engineers don’t cough when we operate the trains. 🧐
I too live by train tracks and never was really bothered by trains passing by and shaking my house gently. It wasnt until the past few years they've started to stop and idle for hours or even days to a week. When trains idle, they let out some of the lowest vibrations that can be felt in your soul and no earplugs will stop it, no sound can drown it out. It's easy for people to say ignorant things when you've never been put into a bad situation like this lady. You're house is longer a home where you can unwind and shed the stresses of the day, but instead you have to listen to and feel the tormenting bass coming from a train. Its like having a neighbor that blasts bassy music all hours of the day and night. Moving is easier said than done in this current economy.
This is a job for Ella musk.
To make electric trains. Quieter And to put bridges in, so I'm not late to work.
Or better yet? Why don't they pay me for the time?
I wait for the train time is money.
I would find out who the licensing agent for the company is and ring his phone off the hook if you can get his cellphone number too and ring it off the hook too. They don't like that and will get the train moved you just got to call the right number long enough.
Oh that's up in Maine
In cold weather if a locomotive is shuy down it can be impossible to restart it. I onbe quoted heaters for a MKT shop in southern Kansas. They had locomotives shut down in the cold of winter and then could not restart them. They had to borrow power from larger railroads which left them heavily owing to pool power.
Well then, you should not have moved next to a railyard…
COLD STARTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD ON THOSE TYPES OF ENGINE'S. AND KEEPING THE AIR PRESSURE UP,,,, INTERIOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DRY,,, DISPATCH FOR IMMEDIATE BACK UP WORK,, IT'S COST EFFECTIVE TO LEAVE A DECADED ENGINE RUNNING. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS COSTS ARE $1000'S OF DOLLARS PER HOUR .
Id go shut it off
Remember, the railroad was there before you
I had this problem in Enfield, Maine. I wrote a letter to the owners and asked what the purpose of having a train idle in a rural area for days to a week or more at a time and for several years in a row! I implied it was perhaps for drug dealers. The train never returned to sit and idle in Enfield, Maine. Coincidence?
Nothing worse than people who move near railroad tracks or an airport and then they feel they are entitled to complain about the noise or the problems associated with being there. Shut up. You moved there knowingly so you put yourself in that situation.
Sad that the old clientele doesnt really understand they are far far from on "your" side
