I lived in Wilton near Cannondale for 29 years and loved the sound of the train horns! The train was there when you bought your home wasn't it? If the noise bothered you, why did you buy a home on Seeley Road?
A train horn to many people is nostalgic - times gone by - a sound of places far away to visit. I remember my children's nursery school used to take the train to Danbury and back and they loved it when the engineer blew the horn!
don't be such a grouch!

The reason trains blow their horns is to let you know they are near, so when you or your loved are playing near your train tracks they know to briskly step aside or they may not be coming home for dinner. If that was to happen the next post would go something like this " must have more horns on trains, grandma got squashed because her hearing aid broke and she did not hear the train coming"
People if you think the conductor is blowing the horn for fun, kindly open your imagination or better yet, type in train accident into google. This will show you exactly what happens when the train conductor accidentally forgets to blow the horn.
