I took these pictures as I waited for the freight train to pass before I could cross the railroad crossing.

Like most towns in the USA, Galt has a railway track going right through the town. The first year we moved to this town, we lived in a rental that was quite close to the tracks. I could never get used to the noise – horn and clacking of the wheels – and I could never leave my windows open at night.

Now we live about 2 miles from the tracks and we can still hear the train especially at night but fortunately the sound is faint!
