As for right sequence thats for railroad supervision to determine,, nobody needs Railfan supervisors.

We do have three crossings very close together which makes some difference I'm sure. The biggest differences are heard in the wee hours of the morning. Some engineers faithfully blast away the standared signal while others, seemingly sympathetic to nearby sleeping residents, give shorter and softer versions of the warning. This is quite nice of them, but I'm sure it is not considered a safe practice.

This has a red outer circle with a red diagonal line from top left to bottom right printed over top of the letter "W". This says to the crew "No Whistle/horn". This is a qyuite common sight for large numbers of grade crossings in urban areas that have been designated as "No Whistle/horn" areas due to resident complaints about noise. Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, April 14, 2005 2:09 PM 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. For you east coasters who say the whistle is too loud, move away from the tracks darn it! 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. 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. Later this week I will try to lift a frame from that video and link to it. Blow dat whistle. I sleep easy knowing that routine whistle is a going. It's when the emergency whistle blow that wakes me up.
