Nice to see you've caught IHB in Franklin Park!NA2 can come at unexpected times depending on how it's running.There is a light power move that leaves Bensenville sometimes.That job is NA11.I think about 2 IHB trains can be seen in Franklin Park.
yes, franklin is a quiet zone, the only place where the IHB is required to blow their horn is at B-12 entering the CP by Grand Ave. It's not a issue of not caring, it a law.
Franklin Park is not a QZ, and most trains from the harbor except train w/ harbor crews give horn for all the crossings. And the IHB crosses Grand via a bridge.
Ok, I've been working for the IHB for almost 5 years now, and in our timetable rules it directly states which crossings in IL we are allowed to blow the horn at. I can tell you them all on our lines if you want to know.
What time did you catch this train?

Nice video! Great to see the SD20. I wish the WSOR still had theirs.

The crossings downtown are probably in quiet zones, so I would imagine that's why he didn't give any horn.

That's the thing, there are no quoet zones on this line. Franklin Park is not a quiet zone by any means necessary. Crews just simply don't care.
