SOUTHERN PINES, NC - - I could have been standing closer to the tracks, but then the force of warning blasts of the freight train's whistle would have probably tumbled me into the line of magnolia trees between the railroad tracks and the streets on each side. Since I was standing quite near an intersection the whistle blasts were quite frequent and, maybe, the engineer was trying to figure out why the grizzled old guy was standing too close to the tracks. At this location in Southern Pines if you wait long enough you're bound to catch a freight rumbling by.
