It is amazing how much you can get used to something like that. Plus at 7am, when a lot of people may not be totally awake and run in front of the train by foot or car. So I understand the orders from HQ to let it rip... Better to piss off a few than to receive news of someone getting killed because they were not awake yet, and getting sued over it.

You would think they’d have the usual KL5 horn or whatever it is for out of town, and a town horn, like they do on semi-trucks. I know that US trains have a horn sequence for blowing at railroad crossings mandated by federal law, but here in Australia it is up to the engineer to decide how often to sound the horn, or even to sound it at all. We’ve got some heavy iron ore trains here, 35,000 tons and more, imagine them doing street running lol. Imported American GEs and SD70Ace as motive power.
Can you tell us how big these towns are. I am in the Northeast and this is so unimaginable to me. Thanks for showing this. So many of us who live in the "Big Cities" do not know how small town America lives.
Damn that engineer was a leadfoot on the whistle; I'm *guessing* since it counted as a street-run, they basically had to keep it blowing continuously until they were past the series of grade crossings. Or he was just trolling the town by making sure he was loud as possible. ^.^
I live 150 feet from a CSX line and there is no getting use to the horn blasts. Especially the unnecessary ones at 3 am. There isn't a crossing for at least a mile in either direction.
"There ought to be a law against trains blowing their horns at 0'dark 30 in the morning. You're coming into the yard, can't you just use your radio to communicate your location. Why you got to be so loud and noisy in the mornin'?" I live near the J. R. Davis Union Pacific Yard. It's the second largest Rail yard west of the Mississippi and it is heavily trafficked by trains all day and all night. Since getting duel pane windows, I don't hear them as often, but every once and a while they'll use the side track closest to my side of the tracks. Sometimes it's so loud it sounds like the train is rumbling right outside my window. I'm not a morning person. I understand why they have to use the horn, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.
Not to be rude, but those tracks have been there in Sacramento since the 1860-1880's... You probably bought your house well after that... train horns should have been expected! If it bothers you that much, dont live by trains!!!
In actuality, what's happening here isn't a bad ordered (broken) light at all but rather it's a stuck ditch light relay. In other words, the working light is stuck being on, preventing the other light from functioning.
@@jlv11b Naturally there's no way of knowing, but I can still state with near total certainty, I'm correct. If it were a BO ditch light, the good ordered lamp would still wig wag as intended. It's a stuck wig wag circuit... I've seen it happen on our F59's all the time. Cute attitude though. Keep it up and you'll find yourself lonely.

I live in Gillespie Illinois. For years we had a train that ran down the middle of our main street four times a day. The first train came through at 2:00 a.m. My grandparents owned a tavern on main street and lived upstairs.. As a kid I would stay on weekends and sometimes my friend Jerry would stay with me. He lived over the butcher shop just a block or so away from my grandparents . We became best of friends in 6th grade and remain so to this day some 60 years later, though he now lives in Oregon. On the weekends we either would go bowling on Saturday or go to the movies and try to sit with a girl. But after the movies when all the other kids went to the local cafe for cokes and burgers, we went to grandma's. She had home made Italian salami sandwiches and we could split a beer between us so long as we kept our mouth shut about it and we did so religiously . The other thing we got to do was stay up late and watch wrestling at 10:30 followed by a show called "Spooktacular' that showed all sorts of horror and monster movies; It was usually over at 1:00 a.m. and we were supposed to go to sleep. But I would tell Jerry that we needed to stay up until 2:00 just in case. He said "Just in case of what.?" and I told him that 2:00 is when the coal drag came through town. He told me I was crazy and that the damn train woke him up every night since the track was only 20 feet from the front buildings. I said I know that but you live over a butcher shop and we are over my grandma's tavern. He still didn't understand and I said THE TAVERN CLOSES AT TWO AND THE DRUNKS LEAVE JUST AS THE TRAIN IS COMING; Gillespie has diagonal parking on main street forcing people to back out of the parking spot. I told Jerry that he has never lived until he has seen a drunk back into a freight train. Well it took a few weeks , I must admit. But one Friday night, just as we were about to call it a night , IT HAPPENED. One of the town drunks backed up, then there was a loud BANG followed by a ripping sound and the sound of something metal bouncing down the street. We rushed to the window and there was the drunk standing on the sidewalk cursing and screaming to an empty street as the caboose would not come through for another 6 minutes or so. His car was bent in a J and looked like a hockey stick. His back bumper was caught on the train and was bouncing down main street until it dislodged about 4 blocks away by the cemetery. Jerry and i were the only witnesses and were in hysterics watching the drunk. Oddly enough the car was still drivable and he just took off . Not only that, but he drove that car for years without doing more than adding a set of home made tail lights to the rear of the car! No one ever knew about that night. He never said and we never did either. I mean , what were we going to say? Yes officer , me and my friend had just finished a beer and a sandwich when we heard this crash. Not on your life! We continued to go to the movies and have a sandwich and beer with grandma until Jerry moved to California after our sophomore year in high school.
I was in a town in Illinois overnight for an early morning delivery, parked next to the tracks where the trains don't sound their horns. The horns were mounted at the crossing gates & directed down the street. Very effective & much more quiet if you were off to the side. Being not far west of Chicago, there were several trains overnight.
@@ericzerkle5214 I'm an engineer and I go through several crossings much like this and there is a certain way of blowing the horn that combines the crossings together so it's not as excessive as this guy was doing, think about it.... If a certain crossing is less than a block away, blowing at that crossing and stretching it to the next crossing (combining two crossings into one) saves much annoyance of blowing each individual crossing.

The first train came through at 2:00 a.m. My grandparents owned a tavern on main street and lived upstairs.. As a kid I would stay on weekends and sometimes my friend Jerry would stay with me. He lived over the butcher shop just a block or so away from my grandparents . We became best of friends in 6th grade and remain so to this day some 60 years later, though he now lives in Oregon. On the weekends we either would go bowling on Saturday or go to the movies and try to sit with a girl. But after the movies when all the other kids went to the local cafe for cokes and burgers, we went to grandma's. She had home made Italian salami sandwiches and we could split a beer between us so long as we kept our mouth shut about it and we did so religiously . The other thing we got to do was stay up late and watch wrestling at 10:30 followed by a show called "Spooktacular' that showed all sorts of horror and monster movies; It was usually over at 1:00 a.m. and we were supposed to go to sleep. But I would tell Jerry that we needed to stay up until 2:00 just in case. He said "Just in case of what.?" and I told him that 2:00 is when the coal drag came through town. He told me I was crazy and that the damn train woke him up every night since the track was only 20 feet from the front buildings. I said I know that but you live over a butcher shop and we are over my grandma's tavern. He still didn't understand and I said THE TAVERN CLOSES AT TWO AND THE DRUNKS LEAVE JUST AS THE TRAIN IS COMING; Gillespie has diagonal parking on main street forcing people to back out of the parking spot. I told Jerry that he has never lived until he has seen a drunk back into a freight train. Well it took a few weeks , I must admit. But one Friday night, just as we were about to call it a night , IT HAPPENED. One of the town drunks backed up, then there was a loud BANG followed by a ripping sound and the sound of something metal bouncing down the street. We rushed to the window and there was the drunk standing on the sidewalk cursing and screaming to an empty street as the caboose would not come through for another 6 minutes or so. His car was bent in a J and looked like a hockey stick. His back bumper was caught on the train and was bouncing down main street until it dislodged about 4 blocks away by the cemetery. Jerry and i were the only witnesses and were in hysterics watching the drunk. Oddly enough the car was still drivable and he just took off . Not only that, but he drove that car for years without doing more than adding a set of home made tail lights to the rear of the car! No one ever knew about that night. He never said and we never did either. I mean , what were we going to say? Yes officer , me and my friend had just finished a beer and a sandwich when we heard this crash. Not on your life! We continued to go to the movies and have a sandwich and beer with grandma until Jerry moved to California after our sophomore year in high school.
Welcome to Dresden Ohio when the coal train comes through in the middle of the night
I was in a town in Illinois overnight for an early morning delivery, parked next to the tracks where the trains don't sound their horns. The horns were mounted at the crossing gates & directed down the street. Very effective & much more quiet if you were off to the side. Being not far west of Chicago, there were several trains overnight.
engineer was waaaaaaay to excessive on that horn
No he wasnt. Im betting there is a W/MX sign on both side of town for the engineer to blow for multiple crossings....
@@ericzerkle5214 I'm an engineer and I go through several crossings much like this and there is a certain way of blowing the horn that combines the crossings together so it's not as excessive as this guy was doing, think about it.... If a certain crossing is less than a block away, blowing at that crossing and stretching it to the next crossing (combining two crossings into one) saves much annoyance of blowing each individual crossing.
He really loves that horn. 📢
Welll... I hope you had earplugs on your for that one. Lol
That’s what we do when we go chasing trains.
When your alarm shut up button doesn't work. >_>
This is really incredible. How many trains a day are run through the city?
I think about 3-5 plus the I&O local
Have you gone down to La Grange, KY they have one that goes down Main St there's an on line rail cam there also.
I have been there many times. One of my favorite places
