“There was no train horn”

My house is exactly 1/2 mile from a freight line and it vibrates my house every single time one passes through......I would submit a train horn should never be necessary if your on the tracks. SMH

As someone who spent way too much time around train tracks as a teen you’d be surprised. Wind direction is a factor. And speed looking down the tracks is hella deceptive.

Exactly. The rails "sing" with an approaching train. Unless you are deaf, you'll hear their "song".

MY DAILY train-—south—then north-—is less than 1/2 mile.

Vibrates the foundation.
