Trains in the Distance

I love standing out on my deck and hearing the horn of a freight train way off in the distance. Its a drizzly and foggy night - and I can hear the distant chime of a train, but cannot see it.

This reminds me of my childhood home back in the Midwest. Late at night, you could stand outside and the only sounds I could hear were the chirping of the crickets, and the horn of some train way off in the distance.

Its an eerie, but comforting sound. Where is the train at? Where is it going?
