I was thinking A stopped locomotive, like the on the left, CAN NOT emit such a high pitched horn sound. It is alot LOWER when a locomotive is not moving. That would ahve been my second clue, my first would have been the lowered gates. <br /> <br /> <br />And in thsi day and age, we have time Delayed and motion activated RR lgihts, if the locomotive is standing still for 15-20 secondes, the corssing barriers go up, If another train appraches, they go back down.. thats why sometimes we stop at a station for a long time, and if we see the barriers go up, Technically AS SOON as we start moving again, the gates SHOULD go back down, Sometimes it takes maybe a second, so we have a rule in place now that is 10 MPH until the crossing is corssed, (only applies if we stop at the station beofre the corssing, and the gates go up) <br />
