I often post my PSN files as Spring, Texas station.
My website shows my helicorders.

Howdy,
This is my first post so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.
My little setup is located about 200 yards from a western freight-train
route in and out of the Houston, TX terminals. When I first
started out I thought this massive, biblical-type seismic wave would be my
outright downfall. But, thanks to a lot of help from you
guys (see I do read the mail) I discovered that it was easy to filter out
the train - even smack dab in the middle of a large event.
Over the past 3 years I have gotten pretty good in determining the length,
speed and mass of every freight train that comes by. It
presents a beautiful seismogram of a very close wiggle. Of course no amateur
seismologist in their right mind would want to place a
John Cole sensor on horrible Gulf gumbo and located so close to a train
track that teeth can get rattled loose. But, that's my lot
in life so I muddle along.
It occurred to me that I can remove the filtering from my helicorder GIF and
everyone can see what these things look like. Just
holler if you'd like to see it.
Thanks,
Joe

I would suspect railroad traffic sequenced along a track. During the night
when other traffic is quiet you may see the railroad
from farther distance. In my location the noise builds and then decays over
several minutes. I don't see one every hour but there
is a daily schedule that shows up and when the wind is right I hear the
whistle to verify.
Hi Randy,
From this I assume that you still have steam trains with very heavy
engines, in the US? We are mostly electrified with motors in
each carriage, but there are some local Diesel trains. We don't often see
train signals, unless we are very close to a line.
Regards,
Chris
