The whole issue about horn blowing at crossings has grown rather idiotic. Common sense seems to have flown the coop. Having worked as a brakeman on the old MP Kingsville Division and rode the head end countless times, I never knew one single engineer who blew his horn to wake the local populace. Every one I knew blew it for one reason: to save lives including those in the cab. If you ever rode in the cab of an SD40 running 45 mph and saw a tanker truck pull onto the tracks a half mile ahead and come to a complete stop with the trailer straddling the tracks, you would know once and for all why an engineer blows his horn at grade crossings. The people complaining about the train horns are the same idiots who buy a house near the airport and complain about the planes flying low overhead. If you don't like the noise, MOVE THE HECK AWAY FROM THE TRACKS.
