I have a friend that moved to Dover about 2 miles SSW of South Natick. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, she can hear the clickety-clack of a train. Where could the noise be coming from? The Framingham line in Natick is 2.8 miles away. Does sound carry that far at night? The line that runs from Needham to Millis is 1.7 miles away (is that active at all?). The tracks through Sherborn are 2.1 miles away. Are they active?
She does live right on the Natick-Dover line. She's not a train buff, so it's possible that she is hearing machinery from a nearby farm.
