Just wondering, I have one very close to my house, and it seems like I hear one every hour of the day and night.

NO!!!!!!!!!! most railroads have the same trains that run everyday,but with adding extras and unknown delays a train is never ever in the same place as it was the day before,due to delays and extra trains,sometimes the railroad doesnt even have a crew to put on a scheduled train and it will set for hrs just waiting on a rested crew

the popular railway, somewhat the greater suitable structures, run 24 hours an afternoon, 7 days each week, in simple terms approximately 3 hundred and sixty 5 days a year. each line will see differences in it is trains, such via fact the type, length, what they convey about, and whilst they run. although, in case you reside close to a line that sees a huge type of trains, you in all probability see a persevering with quantity over a 24 hour era, if for no different reason than the railway is making an attempt to area them flippantly to dodge congestion. it is tough to foretell whilst the trains run, even once you artwork for the railway. yet, while you're staring at them working often in any respect hours of the day and evening over a length of time, then confident, they in all probability run at a especially even frequency close to you.

A fairly large number of freight trains did run on a schedule at one time, lasting up until the mid 1970s. Trains that ran on a scheduled were called "regular" trains. Trains that did not run on a schedule were called "extra" trains.
Though they no longer run on a time table schedule, certain trains, such as piggy back trains or other expedited freight trains, will run at nearly the same time each day. They are usually run "on time" out of the terminal that they originate, but once under way, they are sugject to many of the same delays that the non-expediters experience, with the exception that they are usually given right over opposing non-expeditied traffic.

Most services run on a 'regular interval' these days, i.e. at the same times throughout the day - timetables may say 'trains for Blacktown leave here at xx05xx and xx35 from 9.05 until 21.35'. In the UK no trains run the full 24 hours though - except the Underground on New Years Eve/Day. Trains will run more often in city areas, less often on longer distance services.

There may be exceptions but I think most trains do not have the same frequency all day/ night.
In my case for the trains I get they are more frequent during peak times 8-9am and 5-6pm and there are no trains between midnight and 6am.
However I am sure this is not the case for all trains and there will always be trains running.

I live by the Sutton Park freight-only line.
The timings seem random to me.

No. But we live near a train too and it isn't every hour on the dot.
