Norman Vieira has lived near the train tracks in New Bedford since 2002.

 

He told 12 News his neighborhood used to be quiet, with an industrial line running roughly four times a week.

 

Vieira specifically remembers asking the realtor before buying his house about the train tracks.

 

“[The realtor] said ‘There’s no commuter rail, and there never will be again,'” he recalled.

“It sounds like we’re in a drum,” Vieira said. “The horn itself, it’s disrupting. That’s about every hour or so … sometimes three times an hour.”
