Like I said before on here. Trains blow their horns to serve as a warning for safety purposes. Isn't that the same reason police cars, ambulances, fire trucks have sirens and blow their horns? Does this person raise a fuss over these as well? I'd be curious to know.

How stupid of them, o well they will die by hitting the train all because they can't deal witha train horn once in a while...

derailment? what derailment? All reports of derailments are lies. Their are no derailments within a hundreed miles of here.

When will people learn that if you want your life you might have to give up a whole five seconds of quiet time.[sigh]

Train Horns Part 2.

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, August 6, 2005 7:54 AM

I already know that you people on this Forum have heard this before but I must get this out now. This guy name of Dennis Mccormich of Blair went to the Blair City council on his behalf to "complain" to the City of Blair complaining about the Trains blowing their Horns in an what he calles "Excessive horn blowing".
This is what is says:

Request by Dennis Mc cormich ,2336 Jackson Street to appear before the Mayor and City council to disscuss the excessive whistle blowing of Train Horns passing through Blair.

Now you people tell me this? Just what the HELL is going through people's minds now a days. I keep trying to tell my Stupid dad that if Train Horns where to stop. The Actions of most people would be unbelieveable.
Well I tell you this people I just don't what to say anymore. To me it is a no win situation,People will *** every chance they get. I am very sad to hear this kind crap from people anymore. I mean this Town has gone over 20 Years without a single Grade Crossing accident,That's until last monday! Well so much for that Record now.
All I have to say is this.......If people want this childish crap. Then fine. You'll be the one who will be cleaning up the Dead body parts up off the Railroad right of way. Just don't come looking to me to chase after you after the Train hit's you because Train Engineer was told not to blow their Horn. I am very DISCUSTED and very ANGRY now more than ever all because of this. I just feel very sorry for the Crews who now have to encounter this every day because the public want's their QUIET ZONES.
