Letter: Train trouble: Noise and light pollution

TIMES RECORD • November 18, 2020

Excessive train noise is not healthy for people sleeping. Even if we don’t wake up it does disturb our deep sleep. Leaving the train motor on disrupts any possible quiet during the day and evening. Originally, the trains were going to have their motors turned off when at the station for longer than to let passengers on or off. Why aren’t they turning the motor off?  I thought that using the new building would resolve the problem. This has been going on for years. During a pandemic it is even more important to protect everyone’s deep peace from mechanical noise and excess light for health reasons. ~ Marji Greenhut, Brunswick
