Alan...check out my 17May2014 video from Maiden Rock, WI...wonder what the outcome would have been had there been no horn?

I like how Millenniumforce used the air horn. At 1:43, I saw himself blared the horn (with smoke coming out), and that made me laughed so hard. And at 3:26, he blared his horn, because AMTRAK was heading left (at end). CSX was heading right (at beginning).

No horns!?!? BULL *HOOOOONK* That had me dying 🤣🤣🤣 1:40

....but the horn is an effing warning signal. That's how I learned to stay away from railroad tracks when I was a kid somewhere around 3-4 yrs old. Sure I ran away to hide under the slide at a nearby playground when I heard the thing, but the horn is what stuck in my memory. it's what made me form the connection railroad tracks=danger. Stay away. I can't believe this asinine idea even entered someone's head "no horn zone". Bulls**t.

Horns are what make a train a train!

I like how you blew your horn at the sign in beginning. Only if I had my ship horn there.

Alan, I definitely support you and the train horns. I would love to be down there on the 7th, but unfortunately I have a prior commitment then. I'm also a little over 1000 miles away. I will find a way to support you on KZread!

QUIET ZONES ARE A BAD IDEA, at my last residence 1,000 ft. from the UPRR mp 372 (Bellaire Blvd.) a FATAL accident occured & the Ford F250 pickup had to be loaded on 2 flatbed trailers, couldn't be towed, a KCS freight with DPU drug it aboout a half mile from the impact point, (Without the DPU, it may have taken a mile to stop the train.). Cheers from Deer Park, Tx. where I'm 2 miles from the closest track & if outside can hear trains on the PTA/UPRR line at Tx-225 & Center St. on a cool evening. ;-)

Did you see that dash cam video out of a no train horn zone in Mokena, Illinois? The crossing gates, lights and bells malfunctioned and the cop and another motorist came perilously close to being struck by a Metra train. Train horns may be loud and obnoxious but they help keep people safe.

@classichank60

I live in Chicago and I remember that. It terrified me, but I'm glad nobody got hurt.

This is a thing? In British Columbia, here in the lower mainland, the freight trains going in and out of the port of Vancouver blow their horns all the time, regardless of what residential neighborhood they travel through. The long distance and commuter trains do the same. I don't think I would be comfortable around a rail crossing if I didn't know I'd hear the train coming a mile away via its whistle.

I personally think that a train horn is a critical peice of safety equipment. It's basically the only thing the engineer has at their disposal to prevent accidents. It can't stop quickly or swerve to avoid a collision, it can only blast the horn to warn others to move out of the way.

Train horn bans are unrealistic, dangerous, and costly. Accidents are inevitable once horns go silent. I would certainly have joined you if I lived in Florida.

I would lay on the horn all the way through town.

youve earned my sub, love the video!

Bullsh(horn) LOL! Perfect Timing Alan! I will be supporting the horn from Indiana, Pennsylvania! Soon to become a quiet zone as well :(

I have a railroad spike that was given to me by a retired csx crew and they are really nice friends and the railroad spike they gave me has 1 gg mc

Mellenium's reactions to the trains is still wicked funny as usual!!!!!!! They really should remove all quiet zones from all railroad lines in the u.s. and if people don't like that, move somewhere away from the tracks. Trains should be doing that for safety.

Love the air horn! You should have blown it longer, Alan! ;)

Larry R Wendell Jr you want to know something? A couple months ago I read this article about some guy on a personal/probably merciless mission, yes mission to KO horns being blown at grade crossings, particularly in Bethlehem, PA. What he doesn't realize is horns are used to warn cars, pedestrians and so on of a train's approach or worst case scenario, warn a trespasser to get off immediately. I'm hoping this guy fails in his mission. There's at least a few railroads somewhere in the U.S. where there's at least one line that's a quiet zone the entire way, literally. Here's the link if you want to take a look. www.lehighvalleylive.com/bethlehem/index.ssf/2014/05/bethlehem_man_on_quest_to_stop.html

Great Video! i WISH I Could Go :-l

Sorry late posting. What is the function of train horn in railroad crossing with gates? And why the last blast must be in US as late as the train passes the crossing? In Finland, Europe train dont blow a horn anymore at all. They ignore it before the level crossing without gates, bell, light, stop sign and its location EVEN behind the bend. The regulation changed in 2005. In 1973 they stop to use the horn before crossing with gates and while passing another train. The same time daylight running lights were taken on use. It was changed to hight beam in 1992 and flurescent colour sticker installed 2013 on the nose of locomotive.

The horn before the amtrak sounded like a fart LOL
