Well, I have an update on the situation. Finally, the they came to their senses! The headline story of this week's local paper is "Langenburg Won't Ban Whistle Blowers". In order for the trains to stop blowing their whistles, crossing gates would have to be installed, which would cost $150,000. Since the work would be done at the request of the town, they would have to pay the full cost. Like I said before, they certainly wouldn't be willing to fork over that kind of cash (if they even have it). It also mentioned in the article that safety fencing would likely have to be installed around the crossings. That would shure be a bummer for watching trains if it did happen. In addition, if the town went ahead with this, they would also have to pay for a series of Transport Canada public hearings. To quote the last paragraph of the article, "Enough's enough, decided town council last wek, agreeing that train whistles aren't that major of a problem after all. Councillor Lois Wilson even noted that since the issue of train whistles had been brought forward by council, it seems that CP engineers aren't whistling as long as they used to and are doing so closer to the crossings." That last line's a load of garbage (probably said to make people think that they actually got somewhere by raising this issue), but all in all it's very good news to hear that nothing more will be done to try and stop the trains from blowing their horns.
