Really?? Maybe you should get out more. Based on the link you provided, those apartments do not not appear to be unusually close to the railroad line. I've seen many other residents as close or closer to railroad lines than what is shown in the image.

I wouldn't bet anything on that. Yes, some homeowners and, possibly some tenants, will object to trains near their residences and a few of them will even try legal action. However, the few isolated cases of this are the exception not the rule.

Too many railfans are seemingly incapable of giving homeowners/tenants credit for understanding what happens when they live near railroad lines
