Other things to note There is an Amtrak train station 3 blocks from Lincoln’s Loft. The train does come through at nighttime and does blow its horn. Some conductors are more overzealous in their horn usage than others. Some are very kind and only blow the horn 1 or 2 times. You may hear it. It has been a frequent discussion in city counsel meetings, but the majority of the townspeople agree that safety should come first and the train horn is there to ensure the track is clear. If you need any infant supplies (play pen, infant tub, bumbo seat) please let me know and I will leave them in your suite free of charge.
