THE CROTON CHRONICLE---TRAIN IDLING NOISES: CROWD SOURCED INQUIRY

As many here know, the issue of nighttime noise from idling locomotives in the Croton-Harmon rail yard has been an issue for many years. It may have become less of an issue for Crotonites when the Replacement Yard was built, although I have talked to a number of people who are still bothered by it.

What may be less well known is that some of the Ossining-based activists against the noise, who have been more affected by it since the move of the yard, have filed a lawsuit against Metro North in state court and asked for an injunction against idling the trains for long periods of time. Metro North’s attempts to dismiss the case have not so far been successful, and the motion for an injunction is pending.

So, on behalf of the Croton Chronicle, we are very interested in hearing from people in Croton who hear the noise at night and are bothered by it. You are welcome to comment here, but given the sensitivities of the issue you might prefer to contact us privately to describe your experiences in as much detail as you wish to.

TheCrotonChronicle@gmail.com is the email to use.

Thanks, Michael Balter, Editor/Publisher

Expert Advice from the Experts at Franzoso – Melting Away Ice Dams---RIVER JOURNAL

What Is an Ice Dam?  Winters in Westchester can be brutal. When cold conditions are combined with snow accumulation, and there is heat loss due to inadequate overhang ventilation and lack of proper insulation in the attic, it is the recipe for an Ice Dam. That can spell major headaches for your home’s roof and interior, unless the problem is immediately addressed.  MORE AT Expert Advice from the Experts at Franzoso – Melting Away Ice Dams – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill
