[quote="Goose"](quoted from post at 10:55:52 07/02/14)......I understand there are regulations that cover the horn........[quote="Goose"]

Yes there are, but over the past 8 years we have lived by the rail line we have heard many variations on the "regulation" horn usage.

We always joke that some of the engineers had grown up as little boys always wanting to drive a real train, so those guys you can hear for many miles away,,,,,, They really lay on the horn at every crossing. ( we have 4 crossings within a mile of the house one with gates and 3 private crossings) Sometimes a train passes through with just one short blip on the horn at each crossing, it really depends on the engineer.

Last month we even had one play " shave & haircut ,two bits" as he went past. ( probably a cute girl up on the road!) i was raking on a tractor when I heard it, dam near lost the line I was raking laughing about it.
