Every single time I'm on the train I wonder what it looks like... and I finally did :)

@dneidorff No problem! There are hundreds of rules for LIRR so unless You're an engineer and study them for months it's pretty hard to remember all those rules, but i don't think You can study it from the NORAC Rule Book since I'm pretty sure LIRR isn't controlled by NORAC signals but instead has it's own rule book which is the LIRR Book of Rules which is almost like the PRR Book of Rules except a few hundred rules added and a few rules changed but otherwise not much different.

@mike82140 Mike, agreed! Apologize for the confusion, need to knock off the rust on the NORAC rule book.
-
@dneidorff Actually the signal at 1:11 is an advanced approach signal which means you have to slow down to limited speed once you pass the signal and be prepared to stop at the next signal.
-
@TurgeonFan77132 The rule was originally created by the PRR. It's for safety reasons.
-
@TurgeonFan77132 Not sure, but this is common practice on most heavy rail lines. From my understanding it is to alert people (workers and such) who are in the tunnel that a train is entering / exiting due to the low visibility.
-
@dneidorff- Dylan, why do all of the trains blow the horn upon entering the tunnel? Is this mandated by the LIRR as a precautionary thing. I've noticed it on here and whenever I take the train into Manhattan.

Fantastic job! Thanks.
Can I make an MSTS horn sound out of the horn? I'll give credit.
