Train tracks and noise issues, but no station in Escalon
Tracks used by freight trains and Amtrak run through Escalon, parallel to McHenry Avenue. However, the nearest station for boarding Amtrak is in Modesto. Noise issues have been an issue for Escalon residents who live close to the tracks; reducing the number of idling freight trains is one proposed step toward mitigation.
