Currently the UP double main on the Villa Grove sub is under heavy maintenance. One night one of the detectors had an integrity failure, we were told by the dispatcher to continue at normal speed. However, the thing made an alarm beep for every axle in our train. We had 400+ axles, so we heard "UP Detector integrity failure..... beeep.....beeep......beeep......beeep.....beeep........................on and on and on...." It was funny for the first 30 seconds, then it got annoying quick, especially when there were about five trains in the area.
