I also use park review and then I like to check the park out on Google Earth, found more than one park next to train tracks or at the end of the airport runway.
There is an RV park in Pismo Beach that has a row of spaces that backs up to the train tracks. I had stayed in the park a couple of times, but never in that row, and the train noise was not all that bad. I went to stay there about a year or so ago and the lady warned me that the only space available backed up to the tracks. I figured no problem, the other spaces where I've stayed were about 100 feet away and the noise wasn't that bad. The space I took was probably less than 20 feet from the tracks and it's a back in so my bedroom is right there by the tracks. I tell you what, when that freight train came through at 2am I thought it was the end of the world! It sounded like the thing had jumped the tracks and was crashing all around me and I figured at any second I was going to be crushed with a box car. The motorhome was shaking and bouncing up and down and the noise was crazy. But the train passed and it hadn't crashed at all. Never again will I park that close to railroad tracks.
