I have noted sites that allow you to track airline traffic in real time. Does anyone know of a similar site(s) for passenger/freight trains?

The carriers can locate equipment using their own system, searching by car/locomotive number, but it is not accessable to the public, as well it should be.
Progress of trains that are out and running can be seen by the dispatchers in real time.

Real Time Trains Freight

You need to flip your concern. The noise will be VERY noticeable from 400' even with the wooded area as a buffer. Add the air horn and you will be sleeping with your head under the pillow. Trains don't vibrate the ground much even if you are only a few feet from it. Next time a trains goes by, look at the rail and you will see it actually moving up and down a few inches under the weight of the train. I imagine this absorbs much of the vibrations. Also, it's just rolling along and not hitting the ground like an airplane does.

While I know of no system to track freight, there is one for passengers (link below). It has been ingeniously adapted using Google maps and shows realtime progress of the electric units of Dublin, Ireland's DART system.
If you're coming to check whether it is accurate, have a look at my Dublin Rail enthusiasts site beforehand:

I don't think so. Why would anyone want to know? In airlines there are flight controllers and passengers, on freight trains there are neither of these.

Good question, but I don't have an answer for you. I'm just marking this question to see if there is one.
