For once I agree with the complainants. The freight train can idle in the yard at Lancaster and only come up the spur line when Keolis is ready to give them clearance.

To be fair, I think they might have switched to this procedure — the last few nights I’ve notice the train idling for just a few minutes. So I suspect they wait at Lancaster, then come up the line when Keolis is ready, then proceed when the signal actually switches. This is a reasonable procedure.

I live just across the street from the person featured in the article so for me the train is not quite as loud but I’m in essentially the same situation.
