Some people down in Shenandoah, IA, are complaining about the noise 
made by BNSF freight trains.  Shenandoah is at the end of a 20 mile 
spur, and there's about one train a day (maybe) that mainly services 
the city's ethanol plant.  That spur was once a thru line that went to 
BNSF's north/south main at Hamburg, IA, but that 20 mile stretch of 
track was abandoned and pulled up decades ago.  The Wabash also used to 
run through Shenandoah on its way to Council Bluffs, but that whole 
railroad shut down and was torn out decades ago.  I don't hear the 
people in Emerson complaining about the hoise - and that's about 3 coal 
drags every hour, each way, plus the occasional local and long-distance 
freights
