trains

Since the early 1800s, Texas has been a railroad state, from steam engines to the modern-day Amtrak. Even more interesting is the fact that Texas is home to nearly 30 railroad museums.

Whether you are stuck at the tracks waiting to cross, or you work near them like we do here at Townsquare Media, trains that roll through town can be pretty irritating - especially when you hear the loud train horn 12 or more times a day.
