Well with the BNSF and the FRA breathing down our necks on blowing the whistle, these engineers on the BNSF better watch them selves. Since early this past summer the FRA made the rule that if traveling under 45 mph you can only blow the whistle for no more than 20 seconds, and then after a car, train accident near Hastings NE. the railroad came back and said no less than 15 sec. and no more than 20 sec. when traveling under 45mph, at 45 mph and over start at whistle board. And if you don't blow the correct 2 longs a short and a long you will get a operations test failure, and if they catch you blowing under 15 sec. they will pull the engineer and conductor from service and take alternative handling. The railroad and FRA is getting really strict on the issue.
