Planes, Trains and Automobiles

There is something that I had totally over looked and it's how frequent trains come though this area of the country. You see, living on base had us ignorant to the idea that trains come though this area more than a couple of times a month. When in fact it's more like 3 to 4 times a day. We are not bothered by the sounds of the train, just surprised at how many times a day they really do come thought this area.

Planes, heck we hear B-1 bombers taking off and landing nearly every day. But you also have to keep in mind that commercial planes don't land at the base. We are now more near to the commercial airport and see a lot more of those planes coming in for a landing than we did while on base. And wow! Do we ever have a terrific view of B-1's landing an taking off. The next time there's an Air Show we're staying at home because we have a first class view!

We do not get the automobile drive by traffic in this neighborhood like we did while living on base. No more loud car stereos booming all day and night. I can see the highway in the distance but we don't hear the cars- how nice is that? :-)

I want to make a layout based on those 3 things and title it just the same "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". I'll need to take pictures of all 3 of those things and go to work on it.
