Long Long Short Long, Short Short Long Short..........

I hear the trains come thru. Once in a while they are new on the route and find that there are 4 crossings to whistle for. The end result is a sorta of Long, not as long, very short then padlocking the whistle for about 1 1/2 miles. <br /> <br />Once I heard the usual whistle echoed shortly after by a new set. It turned out that there was a "Running Meet" with the fast tainer train over taking a fast but still slower coal train with like 7 sets of deseils neck to neck and whistles roaring using both tracks for northbound. <br /> <br />Both trains staggered thier whisteling so that the one in front had the first long and then was filled in by the second engine's first long and so on. We dont get that too often but is worth driving down to watch the drama.
