Train horns exist for a reason and yet cities everywhere enact quiet zones even though many drivers nationwide fail to yield to a train. It should be a law for crossings to have quadrant gates to allow for quiet zones.
@liamweaver2944 Жыл бұрын
I also heard a statistic about when quiet zones were enacted in Florida, the grade crossing accident rate doubled.

There's alot of train horns out there, some can even make whatever company the train's from recognizable, like for example: the Leslie S3K and RS3K. The Original Pre-BNSF Merger Burlington Northern "Greens" had very awesome S3Ks/RS3Ks so if you hear an RS3K, it might be one of them! Another one is the Nathan P3 from Southern Pacific.

Why not after the invention of the multi-chime horn, it should be called a whistle, because, it’s to distinguish from a truck horn?
@JBF-GST-Tanda Жыл бұрын
Probably because the physics behind a horn and a whistle is different? Horns have diaphragms while whistles have resonation chambers.
