I wondered where the train noise went. I live far enough away from the tracks to enjoy the occasional whistle in the distance. However, I am happy to give up that little bit of nostalgia so you and others living closer can now enjoy some relative piece and quiet. I say relative because the clickety clack together with those big diesels aren't exactly quiet.
BTW, I think some of those engineers were sadistic. They would blow that horn continuously for miles. I tried to figure out if there was a pattern but it seems each engineer did as he liked and that was to annoy as many people as he could.
