I am sure that no matter what the RR's do, someone will try to get around it. I once watched a "cute little mommy", with TWO kids strapped in the back of her Caravan, drive around the gates on a Strasburg RR crossing. Granted, the train had stopped to do it's "Echo Whistle, BUT it started to move as she went around the gates, from the BLIND side of the crossing.
She was lucky, the coupler would have opened the Dodge like a can of string beans. She beat it, THAT time. Jim Lyle In a message dated 12/1/2010 2:23:24 P.M.

Thus, car drivers hear the recorded horn clearly, but adjacent houses hear nothing. So why does it have to be a badly recorded train horn, why not just a loud "here comes a train, stay off the tracks" announcement? ...dave __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5664 (20101201) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5664 (20101201) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
