One of the places I lived while going to college in Winona, MN had a backyard the abutted the Milwaukee Road Chicago-Minneapolis main line. It was double-track at the time, and there was no back fence or hedge, so the railroad literally ran through the backyard. My room faced onto the back yard.
It didn't take long to get used to the trains passing through. My favorite train to watch (late at night or early in the morning) was the "Fast Mail". I could see clerks sorting mail in the RPO cars. This train carried passengers only eastbound.
