We have a small airbnb that is super nice and new.  It stays booked.  We have the opportunity to purchase another.  It is on the water with a dock and beautiful lot.  However it is across from train tracks that operate about 6 times a day and sometimes at night.  It is super close to our largest city and airport.  It is in much better location.  I stayed in a hotel once next to train and they supplied ear plugs.  Someone suggested noise machine.  Of course we would disclose this.  Does any one have experience with this or advice?  Thanks

wow. I am a person who LOVES trains and specifically look for places next to the tracks! I am astonished that more people don't take your place because of its location!  I have found at Airbnb the best thing to do is just be honest about the fact that you are close to /near a train track, the times of day it comes through, & the noise level ( also is there a warning whistle/horn as well or crossing signal bells. I think some people will look elsewhere, but plenty of people will enjoy staying there for the nostalgia of it. Good luck!!!!Best regards, LKWiggs
