@MrBrownhornet1974 It's what the railroad calls "Quiet Zones". They are basically a set number of crossings in which a town/city can pay the railroad to not have crews blow their horns. Usually there is a requirement for better crossing guards than crossings that engineers would normally do their horn sequence for.
Noise complaints and other issues bring up the reason as to why quiet zones exist. It's dumb in my opinion.
Thanks Mike. Sadly, due to clearance issues, etc. I could only catch it coming into Chicago and not going out again like it originally was going to do after staying overnight. I'll see what I can do on it's return trip..that's if I can get back up to the Chicago area.
thanx BNSF9192.. now i know. but yes. that is stupid. if they dont like the noise, dont live near the damn railroad. period. again great vid.

Is there even a whistle post there? How is that legal? I guess only one engineer saw the whistle post

Aww, that sucks, did you see my videos of 4449 yet?
CoasterFan2105 2 years ago
Yeah, I've seen them. They were great and I'm sure you had fun. Well, I shouldn't complain. At least I still got to see it still.
BNSF9192 2 years ago
Well, maybe you will get to chase it coming back. You know when it leaves, right?
CoasterFan2105 2 years ago
Yeah, I do. I MIGHT be able to, but I'll have to see.
