Noise from the Napa Valley Wine Train
The Napa Valley Wine Train, a vintage sightseeing train that makes daily trips north from downtown, passes through the neighborhood a couple of times a day; while some residents may not appreciate the train’s whistle, others enjoy waving to the conductor as it passes by. “Some people absolutely love it,” Sairanen says. “The train has a kind of muted whistle, and it goes very slowly so it doesn’t disrupt the neighborhood.” Nearby Highway 29, Trancas Street and Jefferson Street can also cause noise in the neighborhood.
