I understand that she lives just up the street from his place real near the 23rd street grade crossing. she was asking neighbors to sign a petition to stop Trains from blowing their horns into town. I am for the safety of others who need these horns to warn drivers the a train is a coming. <br />As far as I am concerned with this,I do not and will not sign any Petition. I will give that person a word or two. Of corse you all know what will happen when or if the RR's where to be forced to silence their horns across this country. I am very angry that some people will stoop to this level to try something this dumb. <br />And for one thing,I do not and will not sign any Petition to ban any trains from stop blowing their horns,PERIOD. Id like to tell people like that,You don't like the sound of the horns,then get the hell out of town. <br />Allan. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />I just found out recently that in Austin ,Texas... Stupid, rich, treehugging people bought land and built half million dollar home near the Austin Texas Central Rail Line. <br />After only 2 weeks after the building of the houses the people had a city ordinace for NO!! train horns within a certain area. This started when The Railroads 2-8-2 #786 was wyeing for the Twilight Flyer around 10 pm and had to blow its wistle to cross a Very Crowded Crosing. But this upseted Mr. Treehuger so he got City Ordinace. <br /> <br />What's gona happen is that a car gona get hit or kill someone and the Railline is gona get sued and end up paying lots of valuble money that could be used for the Organization <br /> <br />STUPID STUPID People[soapbox]
