  • No the sirens do change it's because the train is covering up the sound of the other sides siren

  • where is this?

  • minehead

  • Where's that?

  • south west england

  • why do the horns on the crossing change tones?

  • the sirens on the crossing change because the train is passing so it blockes off the siren on the other side so all u can hear is the siren closest.

  • Its only in the US/Canada where they have to blow the horn (many places are banning that too). THe rest of the world's trains do not blow there horn as drivers aren't as likely to beat the gates.

  • i had a girlfriend once who went like a train.

  • @TheFlarmo I like the American "Railroad Crossing" sign in the shape of an X. Our road signs can be rather cryptic at times...

  • @daredevil49937 Haha. The steam trains are used on heritage railways for nostalgia!

    You didn't seriously think we still use steam trains for regular rail transport? lol.

  • @daredevil49937 We do not have alot of steam trains we mostly have diesel and electric now, the steam trains are just for enjoyment

  • @daredevil49937 We do, we jusat choose to, for the most part, be very reserved about when and where we choose to offend someone. Your comment could have been seen as tounge in cheek thus not deserving of a tirade. Oh well, best of British to you!

  • @AtomicFFProductions I knew that. Btw, you Britts do NOT know how to offend someone

  • @daredevil49937 Heritage trains you bloody prat!

  • If England is a devoloped country, then why use steam engines

  • @TheFlarmo Im going to put an end to this silly argument, spelling doesnt matter because this is youtube and this level crossing talk doesnt matter. Lets face it in the england we like it the way it is, and you americans like it the way you have it (even thow from what ive seen most of the crossings over there are open or unprotected) end of! :)

  • @TheFlarmo firstly the sirens are alot easyer to hear in a car than a bell and secondly the hazard warning lights are not wired and are very easy to see. so what is so bad about them exactly?

  • @TheFlarmo im not the one swearing so there for i take the morrel high ground. so ha :P
