Train Horns Part 2.

[Murphy Siding]

We stayed one night in Hinkley, Minnesota which has a very busy BNSF line through town. The coal trains fly through town so fast,that to do the multiple whistle at each street crossing made it sound like one gigantic scream. I was wishing they could figure out how to tune those things a little differently, because I like the sound of train horns.

I agree extremely! If they complain about the railroads than they should move as far away from railroads as possible.

The world is filled with to many idiots!

I sure don't want trains to turn into rolling carillons.

Smalling, I gotta admit, when I first read the above in your post,..I agreed with you 100%.

Don't ask me why, but your comment of "rolling carillons" just stuck with me, the way some things just will...and the thought just kept coming back to me time and again...Out doing yard work , in the shower, waiting on my meal in a restaurant, etc...the idea just kept haunting me.

And yanno what? I've swooped 180 degrees.

with the way that music soothes the savage beast, I think it would be a very positive reflection on the character of our society, if we had musical trains out roaming the continent, brightening peoples days...

That way all these current complainers would be recruited into supporters, and who knows? Maybe thay would even end up running down to the tracks to listen, just in hopes that the latest edition of American Idol was playing that evening...

And, look at the entirely new channel of revenue that would open for the railroads?

Just think, during election year all the money the railroads could charge, for running subliminal suggestions telling people who they should be voting for.
