   Are these the sounds you hear in the evening? I hear thumping bass from roaring jacked up trucks going too fast down my little road and loud rumblings from the military ammunition storage facility on the island across from me.

     Yes, these are sounds I hear in the evening. There are at times cars and trucks that go by my house that have “thumping bass,” so I can sympathize with that. No military storage facilities nearby. But yes, there is a fire station in my neighborhood, two churches with bell towers, though I generally hear only one and it stops chiming at 9 PM and then restarts in the morning at 6 AM, and there are train tracks nearby that are sometimes used by a local company that has a restored 1920’s steam locomotive that it uses for tours in the area. And to be clear, I don’t hear the fire engines every night or even most nights/evenings.

     Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

   I like this one – train whistles are such an important part of my life. Everywhere I’ve lived I’ve been able to hear them, and I grew up close enough to train tracks to hear the train going through and to walk the tracks on many occasions.

     Thank you for the kind words and observations. I have generally lived near railroad tracks, once even behind the house where I was growing up. In the middle of the night I would here a train go by.
