Heh, believe me, could be worse. I know there's a train that typically runs through the south side of campus here around 5:20-5:30 or so, so right when everybody is leaving. Thankfully, after probably at least 20 years of talking about it, we finally suffered through a year and a half of hell with that road shut down for them to build underpasses. I feel better about that year and a half every time I pass under a train.
