Sadl, the train passes within a few yards of the hotel, and the noise is well, impressive. Blaring warning horns and a rumble which can be felt in nearly every room of the hotel will awaken/disturb even the deepest sleepers.



LOL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: --Reminds me of the movie My Cousin Vinny.......

2 years ago I was staying at the Scotland Apartments, Yes the train
ran there too,



If I may speak ? :lol:

The train you heard 2 years ago is not the train being discussed. That train is the San Pedro train and has limited service and I do not know how close to the Scotland Apartemts is a crossing that they sound their horn.

The train by the La Amistad is the Heredia train and a crossing, where they sound their horn, is very close to the hotel.

a train is a train...

Horns, whistles, in general lots of noise I agree.
regardless of the crossing or CR neighborhood, Yes ?

I have to say this smacks of the ugly American Nimby attitude.

Over Labor Day weekend it was every single day starting at 5:30 (Sunday was a bit later). I would bet the Phucker sounding the horn was less than 100 ft from my head, and the only thing separating him from Room 310 was a single pane of glass. When I was there in October, it was still there, but no where near as bad. Plus, I was prepared with ear plugs and Xanax.
I'd have prepared better- by staying someplace else. :lol:

:roll: Let me explain it to you. Surely you are familiar with the old adage that you are trying to compare apples to oranges aren't you?

APPLE: San Pedro train Scotland Apartments,

ORANGE: Heredia train La Amistad hotel.

Different trains different accommodations so you can not equate the nuisance factor of the train sounding it horn one against the other.

So no a train is not a train in this case. In fact even the equipment is different. San Pedro train 20 year old Incofer equipment while the Heredia train is brand new equipment brought in from Spain.

I apologize,

I was in a cranky mood that night, ( might loose my casa over this depression ) It just seems that every time I try to post there is always someone right on top of me to correct me...
