Although to be fair to those beside the line to Fisherman Island, when
they moved into that area there was basically only suburban trains.  Now
there are long, heavy goods trains which are slower and noisier.

I think the complaints are not about the previous trains, just about
these (relatively) newly introduced goods trains.

Still much better than hundreds of trucks running every 30 seconds along
your street, I think.
