The document discusses light trespass from locomotive headlamps onto homes near curved railroad tracks in Matteson, Illinois. Parsons simulated locomotive headlamp light exposure to determine how much to increase an existing noise barrier alongside the tracks. The simulation showed headlamp beams projecting directly onto homes during train passbys due to elevated and curved track geometry. Parsons concluded increasing the height of the planned noise barrier would prevent light trespass from locomotives onto the residences while still providing noise mitigation benefits to the community.
