1) I do hear the trains. I hear the noises of the train on the tracks, but I don't think it horns until further down. I currently rent north of 1-10 and west of durham and hear the horns all the way from washington all night, so I guess I'm used to it. 2) I have only seen workers at the bus depot. I thought this was just a maintenance for the buses, I don't see taxis or metro stops that I noticed like there are at other bus stations. If they do have passengers, I haven't seen any hanging around or walking around. 3) We should close before New Years. We signed mid October.
