Trains have very load horns always blow before entering a crossing with gates witch were down. AmTrack trains can be much faster than a freight train.

Obviously this kid was a moron and probably the train blew its horn but they do *not* always blow their horn before entering crossings. There are what are known as “quiet crossings” where at various times/days or all the time, the train is not to use the horn. These crossings are labelled as such on the timetables that the train engineers use.
