The whistle is a-howling here in my area. Once or twice Ive caught engineers hitting that long blast across both grade crossings 100 yards apart. <br /> <br />For you east coasters who say the whistle is too loud, move away from the tracks darn it! <br /> <br />One time I had two coal trains together northbound at slightly different speeds and both trains blew for both sets of crossings. I think both crews were 20 yards apart during that fun roll-by. They probably made each other deaf from trying to blow the whistle the loudest. <br /> <br />In the project 819 shop at Pine Bluff Arkansas there is a yellow sign that shows steam whistle signals for a fire situation in each of the buildings and areas on the property. <br /> <br />Later this week I will try to lift a frame from that video and link to it. <br /> <br />Blow dat whistle. I sleep easy knowing that routine whistle is a going. It's when the emergency whistle blow that wakes me up.
