10 miles away, not a block or 2.
On the bright side. Just wait till high speed rail comes along. Against the recommendations of the Japanese and French high speed rail bids, that lost bids to go to the lowest inexperienced bidder. The cheap version will probably be using the same tracks. So imagine those tracks with trains going 100+.
There is a reason why the Japanese Shinkansen has never had an accident or fatality. They have zero rail crossings, and their tracks are solely dedicated and wider than standard rail.
