4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies demonstrate that passing trains generate detectable seismic waves and ground vibrations, which can be measured using seismic instruments or utilized for subsurface monitoring.

The analysis

The claim posits that passing heavy trains generate detectable ground vibrations via seismic waves. The retrieved literature contains multiple studies confirming that train traffic acts as a continuous or repeatable seismic source capable of producing surface waves and ground vibrations that are regularly measured and analyzed for monitoring purposes.
