That makes no sense. Then why did the conductor wave to him? That's out of service track he's standing on, and he's on public property on the street. Flashing the lights like that is actually a way of saying hello, it's happened to me on occasions
@BNSF9250 I suppose its the sign of the times that you couldn't just be polite with your question. There is nothing wrong with me. I know what the dopplar effect is and I am sure you damn well knew that since I am the one that used the term. I was referring to missing the old trains and their whistles as they steamed by me as a kid when I grew up near the railyards in Maine.
I love this video.....great horn, great scenary, great train, the train itself reminds me of CSX Q464 minus the steel coil cars, is dat a GE Dash 8-40BW in the lead????
This dude saw ya's there, and he was tryin' to send a message, Plain and Simple. I don't know what it was, but no engineer I have ever met would blow like that at a small country crossing... It would happen once, before the entire town refused that train from passing by again I can tell you that much :)
Geeze, maybe because he was ON the crossing itself. Might have something to do with it! Folks, get off the tracks and behind the gates. Engineers get scared when people are that close, in the event something happens like a derail.
That track used to be a double track,because there is remnance of it over the crossing...And the cam turns as the train is heading away, it goes to a bend as though the main track merges into where the abandonded track used to be. Whats up with that?
He slowed down because you were standing there.. Actually I think he was scared to death that you were a suicidal man.. If you only knew how many train suicides there is. And how the media never puts it at us.. Its hiden because theres no solution to it.
i dont think he was scared to death. If he was, you'd hear brake sequels and no working locomotives. Farther more, if he was scared, why'd the Conductor wave?
If you go to vixy (dot) net and paste the youtube url, you can convert it to an audio file. I think it offers mp3 at this point, but then it's easy to convert to wav after that.
Thank you very much, you are nice. But sorry Sir, I have not the technical equipment (camera)and also no car at present. The photo was recorded in Northern-Hess, about 40 km (25 mls) from my hometown (domicile)Kassel. But I think, there are a lot of good videos of trains all around the world on youtube.
Be seeing you on youtube and greetings from Germany.
Hogger was being a smart ass,I`m a conductor and most guys or gals think it`s funny to blow foamers ear drums out and turn the lights on and off. Approaching th eraod like that will p`off the fra doing that.
ya,when you're taking photos too,turning on/off the lights,blowing a bit too early,and WHAM,oCH,My EARS!! lol It's funny,and it's funny to see thier reactions,when you say hello,wave,and see/hear them do it back! Hay,some even talk to you like a normal person or friend! They do it all the time here!
Yeah---your buddy JIm seems like a cool guy. I've watched those other video clips of yours, and loved all of them. There's nothing like a man who knows how to blow a horn. I've been on trains and hit people on crossings, and the horn blowing does matter. Keep up the good work on these horns clips!
I love a engineer that knows how to blow a horn, and a good sounding one! I've seen a lot of big railroad engineers "sissy" blow the horn---this guy ought to give them lessons!
well on some engines, the bottom lights osolate when the engineer applies the horn, but in this vid, the headlights are flashed and the horn is nailed as a hello to the railfans.
If my engineer did that just to say hello to a group of railfans, I'd strangle him! o.o You guys don't know how quick that horn gets old from inside the cab.
This Driver knows what Railfns like ;-)))
