[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mookie</i> <br /><br />We have one here in Lincoln, that seems to run on Sunday mornings about 5 am. He just loves to give little short toots - doesn't mean anything, except he is making noise and there must be no one around to stop him. He is a yard engine and sometimes is just plain irritating. <br /> <br />Jen <br />[/quote] A long-gone neighbor of mine told of her father, who was an engineer [1892-1941]on the Northern Central Railway (the ORIGINAL NCR, not the whirley-gig excursion bunch who profaned the name) who would always blow a special signal for the road crossing near their home, so they would know he was flying past. Perhaps your Lincoln yard guy is alerting the home team to get breakfast ready; papa's coming home! Besides, being allowed to blow the horn is about the last fun we're allowed to have, so LIGHTEN UP! 8^)
